Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Trump WINS, Q1 Jobs Report SMASHES Expectations, MS-13 ATTACKS Prison Guards

00:01:46.000 The United States economy added 177,000 jobs in April.

00:01:52.000 This is up from 145, I believe, was the...

00:01:57.000 135 projected.

00:02:00.000 That led to a significantly good day on Wall Street.

00:02:06.000 The traders seem to like that a lot, which is not really a surprise.

00:02:10.000 Considering how volatile the stock market has been in the past couple weeks with all the trade...

00:02:15.000 This actually led to a positive economic outlook for the Trump administration.

00:02:23.000 So we're going to talk about that today.

00:02:24.000 We have new court audio from 2020 from the wife of Kilmar Arbrego Garcia.

00:02:33.000 He's said to have hit her repeatedly.

00:02:36.000 This shouldn't really come as a significant surprise considering the allegations that he's...

00:02:43.000 It's been violent in the past.

00:02:44.000 There were multiple times that she was trying to get a court order, restraining order from him.

00:02:50.000 So we'll discuss that.

00:02:51.000 There was an attack at the Virginia Department of Corrections.

00:02:57.000 I'm not sure which actual installation it was, but three corrections officers were stabbed by MS-13 gang members.

00:03:07.000 So this actually...

00:03:09.000 Seems to be—this is a new breaking story, too.

00:03:12.000 Bill Malugan was reporting it, so we'll get into that.

00:03:15.000 Democrats are starting to pull out of the impeachment resolution, showing that it's not actually popular among all Democrats to continuously try to obstruct and create issues.

00:03:31.000 So we'll get into that.

00:03:34.000 The HHS recommends therapy, not sex change, to treat gender dysphoria.

00:03:39.000 So that is a positive, I guess, if you have a realistic opinion about trans people. 0.99

00:03:50.000 So we'll talk about that.

00:03:51.000 Then there's some information about...

00:03:55.000 Trans militants in Portland. 0.98

00:03:57.000 Be trans, throw hands. 1.00

00:03:59.000 They're an activist group and they're talking about teaching children how to fight in order to defend themselves if they're trans.

00:04:08.000 So we'll talk about that.

00:04:09.000 We'll discuss Antifa agitators in our local area here in Maryland.

00:04:14.000 There have been assaults for the Mayday protest because apparently that has something to do with being trans, I guess.

00:04:22.000 And then we've got...

00:04:26.000 The ADF has been classified as a right-wing extremist group in the German intelligence agency, says.

00:04:34.000 And that speaks to the way that the left is treating right-wing groups across Europe.

00:04:42.000 So we'll get into that.

00:04:43.000 And then if we have time...

00:04:45.000 New Jersey judge has moved Mahmoud Khalil's deportation out of immigration court and into federal court, and we'll get into why that actually matters.

00:04:54.000 But first, go buy coffee.

00:04:57.000 Go to casprew.com.

00:04:58.000 You can buy some of our coffee.

00:05:15.000 With all the proceeds from that.

00:05:17.000 You can get the last iteration of Alex Stein's Primetime Grind.

00:05:23.000 I don't think they're making any more.

00:05:24.000 There will be another Alex Stein blend if you're an Alex Stein fan.

00:05:29.000 Or you can go get Two Weeks Till Christmas, which is a very nice gingerbread coffee.

00:06:26.000 So, you want me to go deeper, Phil?

00:06:28.000 Not right now.

00:06:29.000 We'll get into that.

00:06:30.000 I'm Ian Crossland.

00:06:30.000 I'll give you an outro at the end of the show.

00:06:32.000 I'll tell you about what I've been up to.

00:06:33.000 But Libby, tell me.

00:06:34.000 Awesome.

00:06:34.000 I'm Libby Emmons.

00:06:35.000 I'm here from the Postmillennial and Humanevents.com.

00:06:38.000 Glad to be on the show tonight with y 'all.

00:06:40.000 Awesome.

00:06:40.000 So let's get into it.

00:06:42.000 CNN reports the U.S. economy added a stronger than expected 177,000 jobs in April.

00:06:50.000 America's long, resilient job market continues to defy expectations in the...

00:06:54.000 The U.S. economy added a surprisingly strong 177,000 jobs in April, a slight slowdown from March's downwardly revised 185,000 gain.

00:07:07.000 According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics data released Friday, April's gain was stronger than the average pace of monthly job growth in the three prior months.

00:07:14.000 Meanwhile, the unemployment rate was unchanged at 4.2, a historically low level.

00:07:20.000 Economists pulled a data firm fact set.

00:07:22.000 We're expecting the economy to have added just 135,000 jobs last month, and that unemployment rate held at 4.2%.

00:07:31.000 So it's my sense that the jobs...

00:07:36.000 You know, report is something that is positive for the economy overall, but the uncertainty is still there.

00:07:45.000 Does anyone have any opinion on the economy now?

00:07:50.000 I mean, I'm not an economist, but I think that...

00:07:53.000 Serge is an economist.

00:07:55.000 I think that the jobs report is a tangible, whereas the stock market really doesn't affect...

00:08:04.000 You know, people the same way that, you know, having, you know, low unemployment does.

00:08:09.000 What do you think, Cliff?

00:08:10.000 Yeah, I'd say this.

00:08:10.000 I think that you've got different indicators that obviously the political arena is going to look to.

00:08:14.000 This is one that the Democrats will be mad about.

00:08:17.000 Republicans will praise it.

00:08:18.000 And I think any realist would look at it and say, OK, you know, I'm going to praise it because it's good.

00:08:23.000 We want more jobs.

00:08:24.000 But to me, it's going to come down to what's the impact of the tariffs?

00:08:28.000 What's the impact of the spending bills towards the end of this year?

00:08:30.000 Do we actually cut the spending that Doge has showed us all this waste, fraud, and abuse?

00:08:36.000 But I think this is the first step, is to track some of these smaller things, because this is going to dictate 2026.

00:08:41.000 When you're looking at this midterm election, these are the small numbers, but I think it's going to build towards this idea of, well, are we actually going to cut spending?

00:08:48.000 Are we actually going to do what the Republicans said they would do?

00:08:51.000 And I think the tariffs, to me, it's the big question.

00:08:54.000 But I think seeing these numbers, you're going to see the right screaming, this is great.

00:08:58.000 You're going to see the left saying, hey, oops, here's actually what's wrong.

00:09:02.000 But I think it's a very good thing to see, and obviously we'd love to see more jobs.

00:09:06.000 It's business as usual as far as you're concerned.

00:09:07.000 Correct.

00:09:08.000 Okay.

00:09:09.000 Well, the White House is super happy about it.

00:09:11.000 They sent out this whole...

00:09:13.000 They sent out this whole thing with the details.

00:09:15.000 So there were, as you said, 177,000 new jobs, which they said was smashing expectations.

00:09:22.000 This included private education and health services, 70,000 new jobs, transportation and warehousing, which I thought was interesting, 29,000 leisure and hospitality, plus 24,000 professional and business services, plus 17,000 and financial activities, 14,000.

00:09:39.000 So all of those people that were saying that everything Trump was doing was going to...

00:09:43.000 Hank, the economy and get everyone fired right away.

00:09:45.000 It looks like they were wrong.

00:09:47.000 Also, all of the people who are saying that, you know, removing illegal immigrants was going to be bad for the American people.

00:09:54.000 Like, there's still jobs.

00:09:56.000 That's not so bad.

00:09:57.000 And the stock market has responded.

00:10:00.000 I think it was up.

00:10:01.000 What is the Wall Street Journal says?

00:10:03.000 1.3% on the NASDAQ and the S&P was 1.5%.

00:10:09.000 So, you know.

00:10:11.000 I think that things are looking okay.

00:10:13.000 Unemployment also held steady at 4.2%.

00:10:16.000 It's really, though, I mean, as we know, right, like the economy...

00:10:23.000 All of these numbers come out.

00:10:25.000 The White House says things.

00:10:26.000 Democrats say things.

00:10:27.000 Everybody has their projections.

00:10:29.000 But it's really about how you feel when you're going around in the world.

00:10:32.000 It's about, like, do you feel good when you have $100 in your pocket, or do you feel like you are losing money?

00:10:38.000 Do you know what I mean?

00:10:39.000 Like, do you feel like you can afford your life or not?

00:10:41.000 I don't get the sense that the average person feels like the economy is doing really well.

00:10:48.000 And I think that the economy is one of those things.

00:10:50.000 If you get enough people that are kind of like apprehensive about where the country is heading, that's going to affect the economy, even if we've got really high or full employment or unemployment is really low.

00:11:04.000 Do you guys get the sense that there is a positive notion towards the economy or the economic situation in the US?

00:11:12.000 Or do you think that the tariffs have scared people so much that they're expecting negative things too much and that it's going to be a self-fulfilling prophecy?

00:11:21.000 Well, I think people can get a little bit spooked when they hear things like the tariffs that we've just been discussing.

00:11:28.000 And once people get through that, once they're like, okay, all right, maybe it's not going to be the end of the world that we have some tariffs going on.

00:11:36.000 I think people will look at their grocery prices and they'll look at what's affecting their day-to-day life, sometimes more than numbers coming in and things like that, just the average person.

00:11:47.000 So I don't know a whole lot about...

00:11:49.000 About if tariffs are going to affect grocery prices.

00:11:53.000 It's my sense that they're not, but I don't know.

00:11:55.000 Does anyone have any information about that?

00:11:57.000 Libby, do you know any more about...

00:11:59.000 Do you think they're going to actually affect the grocery?

00:12:01.000 Because I think you're right, Courtney.

00:12:02.000 I think if people feel like they're going to the grocery store, because that's the most regular purchase that most people do, that and gas.

00:12:10.000 And if they're going to the grocery store and they don't feel like they're getting killed...

00:12:14.000 I think that things like Timu being more expensive on Amazon, or Timu is different than Amazon, but things that you're buying from Amazon being more expensive will have less impact if you're going to the grocery store and you're not getting crushed, or you don't feel like you're getting crushed. 0.77

00:12:32.000 I think the White House has done a really good job of messaging in terms of letting people know that buying little cheap pieces of crap off Timu or Amazon, where when you buy stuff on Amazon at this point, like I was looking for a thing the other day for my cat, like just a dumb thing for my cat,

00:12:47.000 you know, put the litter box in so I don't have to look at it.

00:12:50.000 Anyway, you know, people with cats, you know what I'm talking about.

00:12:54.000 It was very hard to find one that wasn't just made in China that I didn't know when it was ever going to show up or if it was going to be like the picture said it was.

00:13:03.000 And I'm constantly, and I'm sure I'm not the only one, I'm constantly looking for like, was this made in the U.S.?

00:13:09.000 Is this going to be decent quality?

00:13:11.000 You know, like I have this situation with printers.

00:13:13.000 How many printers have I bought in the past like three or four years?

00:13:16.000 I cannot get a printer to work.

00:13:17.000 I can't get a printer.

00:13:17.000 Right.

00:13:18.000 Right.

00:13:18.000 It's like it just one little aspect of it just stops working.

00:13:23.000 What I wouldn't give for, like, the toaster my grandma had in the 80s.

00:13:27.000 You know what I mean?

00:13:29.000 You don't want your toaster connected to Wi-Fi?

00:13:32.000 I don't want that.

00:13:32.000 I don't want the talking fridge.

00:13:34.000 I don't want any of these things.

00:13:35.000 But I do want stuff that works and stuff that lasts.

00:13:38.000 You know?

00:13:39.000 And so, like...

00:13:41.000 And I keep hearing, like I was listening to this podcast the other day.

00:13:44.000 It was on Honestly.

00:13:45.000 I don't know if you guys listen to Barry Weiss's podcast ever.

00:13:48.000 She's kind of interesting.

00:13:49.000 But you had two people with contrasting views.

00:13:53.000 Bhatia Anghar Sargon, who I think is really an interesting figure.

00:13:57.000 She's very, very much a cheerleader for the administration. 0.88

00:13:59.000 She's very much a cheerleader for the administration. 0.91

00:14:00.000 But she's also kind of a socialist.

00:14:02.000 And, you know, she lives in Brooklyn.

00:14:05.000 She's a surprising cheerleader for the administration. 1.00

00:14:07.000 And she's really smart, right?

00:14:09.000 Yeah, definitely.

00:14:10.000 Anyway, she was making the argument that it's important to bring home manufacturing jobs, even if factories are going to have AI components and all of this stuff, and that Americans can do these jobs.

00:14:23.000 And then you had Brianna Wu, who's like this trans-leftist who's also on the show.

00:14:28.000 And Brianna was talking about how Americans are just not smart enough to do the kind of jobs that they're doing in China.

00:14:35.000 Brianna has some bad takes. 1.00

00:14:37.000 Bad takes.

00:14:37.000 And she's had some bad takes.

00:14:39.000 All around.

00:14:40.000 Yeah.

00:14:40.000 But there they were on the episode and like I was catching up on a lot of podcasts at once.

00:14:44.000 Anyways, but I think that that's an interesting place to be for Americans.

00:14:49.000 Do we want these jobs?

00:14:51.000 Can we do these jobs?

00:14:53.000 Can we produce quality merchandise?

00:14:55.000 You know, like when Henry Ford, whatever you want to think about Henry Ford, when Henry Ford started his factory, like one thing he wanted was he wanted his workers to be able to buy a Ford.

00:15:06.000 Yeah, that makes perfect sense.

00:15:08.000 I do think that it's an interesting question.

00:15:12.000 Would Americans pay more money for things that are not so disposable?

00:15:17.000 You hear people talk about consumerism and constantly upgrading, and when something breaks, you just go buy another one because things are so cheap now.

00:15:27.000 Do you guys get the sense that people are comfortable with buying higher quality and paying more money?

00:15:35.000 Would you pay $75 for a toaster if you knew that was the last toaster you'd ever have to buy?

00:15:43.000 Oh, yes.

00:15:43.000 Oh, yes, I would.

00:15:44.000 I said no because I saw a company did that experiment.

00:15:49.000 They were like, it's going to cost us, I think, two and a half times more.

00:15:53.000 If we do it out of China, so they put it on their website, buy it from China for $350 or from America or whatever it was for $790.

00:16:00.000 What was it?

00:16:01.000 Zero people bought the American thing.

00:16:02.000 I'm trying to look it up right now.

00:16:04.000 That's because the other thing was available at a cheaper price. 0.58

00:16:07.000 The idea is that the $75 toaster is available and it's a good quality toaster and it's made in America or you could get a $90 toaster that's crap and made in China.

00:16:17.000 That's the idea of these tariffs is from what I understand.

00:16:21.000 Personally, I will go with something that I know is going to last if I have the option.

00:16:30.000 And I'll pay a little extra for something that I know that I'm going to have in two, three, five years.

00:16:36.000 Like, I've got a leather, my leather bag here, it wasn't cheap, but I know that thing's going to last, just as long as I'm not, you know, don't abuse it, it'll last me, probably last for the rest of my life. 0.96

00:16:46.000 Well, and part of it, too, is when you know that things fall apart, we have a situation now where it doesn't matter what you pay for something, it's crap, right? 0.91

00:16:54.000 Yes, there is no quality. 0.95

00:16:55.000 There is no quality option.

00:16:57.000 Like, I could pay...

00:16:59.000 $500 for a printer and it's going to die in a year and just stop working anyway.

00:17:04.000 You know, I could pay like $1,000 for a dress and the hems aren't finished and it has no lining.

00:17:11.000 Like, why?

00:17:12.000 Like, it used to be that if you were going to pay, you feel me on the dress, right?

00:17:17.000 It used to be if you were going to like buy a piece of designer clothing.

00:17:22.000 This was a classic item.

00:17:24.000 It was going to last you 20, 30 years.

00:17:26.000 You were going to be able to sell it at the consignment shop for good money as well.

00:17:30.000 Like, good quality pieces.

00:17:31.000 Now if you buy a designer item, it's just as crappy as whatever you bought at H&M.

00:17:36.000 It just has a different label.

00:17:38.000 Yeah, that's where I think we're seeing a big shift is in the fashion space.

00:17:41.000 And I think a lot of the younger generations are more focused on sustainability and even more focused on cottons, things like that, better materials.

00:17:52.000 I think you're right, but I'm less versed in fashion, but I know that if I am going to go buy a tool, I'm not going to go to Harbor Freight.

00:18:03.000 I'm going to go buy a DeWalt, or I'm going to go buy a good quality tool that I know that I can bring back to...

00:18:14.000 To the manufacturer and be like, yo, this broke if something breaks on it.

00:18:17.000 But you go to Harbor Freight, you're getting what you pay for.

00:18:19.000 Now, I know there are people that love Harbor Freight stuff.

00:18:23.000 Love Harbor Freight because they love that cheap stuff.

00:18:26.000 But you can't deny that...

00:18:27.000 The quality is not the same.

00:18:29.000 And so I think that it does go beyond just, you know, fashion and stuff.

00:18:34.000 Well, I think people are a lot simpler than politicians or these economists make them out to be.

00:18:39.000 It's like consumer choice, right?

00:18:41.000 If they have options, they're going to look, they're going to see, like you said.

00:18:44.000 If it's provided, you know, maybe the study shows they don't go that way.

00:18:47.000 But I think right now what you're having, the argument from America First folks is, look, if we can make this an equal playing field, if we can get China to have to not be able to compete with a price that's a third the cost, then there will be this opportunity

00:19:03.000 for these products to come in.

00:19:04.000 Here's the problem.

00:19:05.000 Politically, you only have a year.

00:19:07.000 Right. Right.

00:19:08.000 So anyone that ever tries to do this, you have one year that you have to have not just the changes made, but then the products have to start coming in.

00:19:15.000 But most importantly, the voters have to feel the change.

00:19:34.000 But for them to get these changes in place in time, I mean, we're talking about these changes have to be done by the end of this year, and then you've got to have products start coming in, and they've got to start feeling that by the summer of 2026.

00:19:48.000 I mean, it's going to be quick. 0.84

00:19:49.000 But to me, I just think people, I'm not calling them stupid.

00:19:52.000 I just think that most normal people, they're trying to pay their mortgage, put food on the table.

00:19:56.000 What are the options?

00:19:57.000 And I think a lot of them don't trust right now this idea that, well, there is a quality product.

00:20:02.000 Because I'm 33 years old.

00:20:04.000 There aren't a lot of quality products that I've seen in my lifetime. 0.99

00:20:07.000 It's all cheap garbage. 1.00

00:20:08.000 All crap. 1.00

00:20:09.000 All of it. 1.00

00:20:09.000 And it all breaks. 1.00

00:20:10.000 And then it all just falls apart.

00:20:12.000 And then you're just like, I worked really hard.

00:20:15.000 I got paid.

00:20:16.000 I spent my money on this.

00:20:18.000 And now it's in the gutter.

00:20:21.000 And I think Americans are genuinely pissed off about that situation.

00:20:24.000 It's so infuriating.

00:20:26.000 Right?

00:20:26.000 I mean, it's so infuriating.

00:20:27.000 I think it's one of those things where you're like...

00:20:29.000 People don't realize they are until, like, something breaks and then they realize, oh, this is frustrating.

00:20:34.000 And then it goes away.

00:20:36.000 But then it's something that kind of stays in the back of their mind, but they don't really think about it.

00:20:40.000 Well, they order it on Amazon.

00:20:40.000 It's there in two hours.

00:20:41.000 Yeah.

00:20:42.000 It's the same rinse, wash, repeat.

00:20:42.000 And now there's something where it's, like, hard to return stuff, too.

00:20:46.000 They make it, like, increasingly harder to return stuff.

00:20:49.000 I'm not sure what the deal is with Amazon lately, but I've had, like, three orders that I've ordered in the past, like, three weeks and have issues getting to my house.

00:20:56.000 Last year I bought a pair of shoes for my son.

00:20:58.000 Instead of the shoes I ordered, it was a pair of used Reeboks with gum on the bottom that showed up in the box.

00:21:04.000 And I was so grossed out and horrified.

00:21:07.000 And I couldn't get any response.

00:21:09.000 And I think I had to take to Twitter to be like, hey, look at this.

00:21:15.000 Do you guys actually take the time to return things if we're talking something that's under $50?

00:21:20.000 I usually do, but they'll just give me the money.

00:21:22.000 They'll just be like, fine, just keep it and keep the thing.

00:21:24.000 If I get broke or if it's any kind of food product, they don't want it back.

00:21:27.000 So if they send you the wrong food product, you just tell them and they'll refund you on the fly.

00:21:32.000 I don't abuse it, but sometimes they'll literally, like you said, Phil, I'll get like three orders in a row will be wrong every once in a while.

00:21:38.000 I got a wave of it like two months ago.

00:21:39.000 I don't know if you guys did.

00:21:40.000 Two months ago, I got...

00:21:41.000 I just think we have it so good and don't realize it because I think the majority of people, and again, some people are having tough times, but the majority of people, you order like a shirt for $30 and it comes in and it's the wrong size.

00:21:53.000 Are you really going through the process of getting the return label, sending it back?

00:21:58.000 I just think a lot of people, they're not doing that.

00:22:00.000 Well, that's why they make it harder to return it because they know that if it's hard to return, most people are just going to eat that $30.

00:22:06.000 But the thing is, there's two sides of it, right?

00:22:09.000 So if you don't like shopping on Amazon and getting garbage delivered to your house that's wrong and then just eating the $30 and you want to go to the store and try and buy something there, you can't find the thing at the store.

00:22:22.000 It's hard to just go buy something at the store that is the thing you need.

00:22:27.000 So a lot of times you end up having to buy it. 0.96

00:22:30.000 You'll go to Walmart or whatever, and instead of five decent options, there's one option that sucks.

00:22:36.000 Talk about having a good, even just the idea of the store.

00:22:39.000 There's a store called The Store that we are just so used to.

00:22:42.000 I like the store.

00:22:43.000 I want to go to the store.

00:22:45.000 I want to go to the mall.

00:22:47.000 I want to buy stuff at the mall.

00:22:49.000 I really do miss having the ability to go and pick something up if I need it.

00:22:56.000 Amazon's cool and stuff, but a lot of times one of the things that I've been waiting on is just red Loctite.

00:23:06.000 Why am I waiting on red Loctite?

00:23:07.000 Why don't I go to Lowe's?

00:23:08.000 Well, because it's on Amazon and I just hit the button and say, okay, it should be here tomorrow.

00:23:13.000 Well, guess what? 0.97

00:23:13.000 Now I've been waiting a week and a half for my damn red Loctite, you know? 0.97

00:23:16.000 So I do miss the fact that you would just be like, oh, I want to go to the store to get this or I need this and I'll go to the mall and pick it up. 0.97

00:23:26.000 I had a fun experience on Monday.

00:23:27.000 I was at the White House for the Eagles celebration.

00:23:31.000 So I'm trying to buy a green suit and it's...

00:23:33.000 Plays to this.

00:23:34.000 You know, I wanted to get a green suit.

00:23:35.000 I was looking for a Kelly green suit, but any green suit would have done.

00:23:38.000 But I'm in Vegas.

00:23:39.000 I'm out there, and I'm like in a massive metro area.

00:23:42.000 And every single, you know, men's dress store that I would go to.

00:23:46.000 Now, this is a first world privilege problem, okay?

00:23:48.000 I'm not talking about a $30 expenditure.

00:23:51.000 But I'm trying to get this, got this invite.

00:23:53.000 And every single person would say the same thing.

00:23:55.000 They're like, oh, well, you know, you can order online.

00:23:57.000 You know, there's tons of options.

00:23:59.000 And then I go on Amazon.

00:24:00.000 I order this Kelly green.

00:24:02.000 It comes in.

00:24:03.000 It looks like I'm a leprechaun.

00:24:05.000 It doesn't fit.

00:24:06.000 It's horrible. 0.99

00:24:06.000 The material's just garbage. 0.99

00:24:09.000 Yeah, you're right. 0.92

00:24:10.000 I miss that experience.

00:24:11.000 You used to be able to get that in Philadelphia at Craft Brothers.

00:24:14.000 There you go.

00:24:15.000 It's the same with food.

00:24:16.000 I want to test out my food before I buy my produce.

00:24:19.000 I want to feel the melon.

00:24:20.000 Same with the shirt.

00:24:21.000 I mean, it's the same with the shirt.

00:24:22.000 But because of this upward momentum of finances, especially since COVID, the acceleration, the hyper-conglomeration of corporations, you're seeing megacorps in control of a lot of sales.

00:24:34.000 I feel like the issue is that COVID kind of gave us a taste of what it could be.

00:24:41.000 But as time's gone on, the quality that products used to have from Amazon...

00:24:49.000 Like, you used to be able to get decent stuff from Amazon.

00:24:51.000 It's really just gone down the tubes as more and more and more people got used to having things delivered to their house.

00:24:58.000 It's like, once you get used to that, you knee-jerk to Amazon to get anything, and then...

00:25:04.000 It's like companies realized, oh, we can just sell garbage on Amazon and people will buy it.

00:25:09.000 So it's like a, you know, it's an unhappy byproduct of constantly getting stuff from the internet as opposed to going and buying it. 0.99

00:25:18.000 I'm sure they have this conversation on Amazon and they're like, okay, we're going to just sell crap.

00:25:23.000 We're going to be willing to lower our quality.

00:25:25.000 Amazon doesn't sell stuff.

00:25:26.000 Or they'll facilitate the sales of whatever cheap quality.

00:25:29.000 And then they're like, if they return it, they return it.

00:25:31.000 It's a cost on us.

00:25:32.000 Odds are they're not going to return it because they just play on that.

00:25:35.000 I think you're probably right.

00:25:36.000 That's why I almost never buy anything from Amazon unless there's something that I just cannot get.

00:25:41.000 I'm like, nope, I'm going to go to the store.

00:25:43.000 I'm going to try it on and make sure that it's something decent.

00:25:46.000 And even still, that's the sad part is that so many of the products that are in the stores, even that you go to look at.

00:25:51.000 It's terrible.

00:25:52.000 I had a pair of shorts that I just bought.

00:25:55.000 I don't normally go to the big department stores, but I went to JCPenney's and I got a pair of shorts.

00:26:00.000 The first day that I wore the shorts, the button failed.

00:26:04.000 And it broke out of the whole shorts.

00:26:07.000 And I'm like, what in the world? 0.99

00:26:09.000 I'm like, what is this garbage? 0.98

00:26:11.000 And I'm like, fine, I'm just buying stuff at Levi's. 0.96

00:26:13.000 I'm like, I know that it'll last longer. 1.00

00:26:15.000 I'm like, this is so stupid. 1.00

00:26:16.000 And it doesn't matter where you buy it. 1.00

00:26:18.000 I mean, you could buy shorts for...

00:26:20.000 You know, $20.

00:26:21.000 You could buy shorts for $100.

00:26:23.000 You could buy shorts for, you know, $200.

00:26:26.000 The button's going to come off.

00:26:27.000 The button's going to come off.

00:26:28.000 Did you guys see, before we move on away from Amazon, that they were going to display the tariff costs on their website?

00:26:33.000 Yes.

00:26:34.000 I was hoping they would, and I thought it was a good idea, because at the very least, I want to know if something's coming from China or if something's made in America.

00:26:42.000 I wish they would tell you.

00:26:43.000 It was interesting, because it wasn't going to be for the consumer side.

00:26:46.000 It was for something called Amazon Hall.

00:26:49.000 Which is like more wholesale or something.

00:26:51.000 The White House pushed back.

00:26:52.000 So as of three days ago on CNBC, Amazon says display tariff costs not going to happen.

00:26:57.000 Yeah.

00:26:58.000 Government always hates transparency.

00:27:00.000 I mean, think about that.

00:27:00.000 Amazon is trying to put this forward.

00:27:02.000 If they wanted to go forward, let's say they'd have it done in three days, I still can't tell you what it costs to go to the doctor's office to get a routine physical.

00:27:10.000 No one can.

00:27:10.000 I mean, there's no transparency and the government loves shutting that down.

00:27:14.000 Why do you guys think that...

00:27:16.000 Is it the cheap quality just because they can get away with it because China has a monopoly on manufacturing right now?

00:27:20.000 Well, I think because people expect to replace things as opposed to have things that last.

00:27:26.000 Oh, land obsolescence.

00:27:27.000 Yeah, that's something that's been fairly well known.

00:27:30.000 And maybe it has something to do with the fact that there is such a turnover in technology now that kind of that mindset is filtered into other products as well.

00:27:42.000 Well, and more people don't know how to do repairs on products anymore either.

00:27:46.000 I mean, look at cars.

00:27:47.000 They've made everything so sophisticated on some of these newer vehicles that if you were going to try to actually go work on that yourself, well, you'll need all these very specific tools.

00:27:57.000 You have the whole digital apparatus that's built into it.

00:28:01.000 It's not the same as it was 30 years ago to try to change your oil or just do something routine on your car.

00:28:08.000 There's this movement called the Right to Repair movement.

00:28:10.000 I love that.

00:28:11.000 I believe in that, too.

00:28:12.000 And I would hear it, and it'd be like, boring.

00:28:14.000 Every time I'd hear it, I'd be like, yawn, data, tech.

00:28:17.000 But it's so important, according to the people that, I think it's Luis Rossman, who has been on this show before.

00:28:22.000 He's big into it, and it's just like, hey, Apple, if you're going to sell products, you need to sell the products that I am going to need to repair this thing.

00:28:28.000 And it's like a legal battle.

00:28:30.000 I don't know where it's at right now, but I think that would be something cool to push forward.

00:28:35.000 I think that's a big deal, too, yeah.

00:28:37.000 Because people used to be able to look at, like, my cousin Vinny, like she knew how to fix a car.

00:28:41.000 Well, I mean, fixing cars...

00:28:43.000 I just watched that again the other day.

00:28:44.000 It's a good movie.

00:28:45.000 I mean, I don't know that I want the government telling Apple what they have to do.

00:28:52.000 I don't know that I want the government telling Tesla what they have to do.

00:28:55.000 I do think that it's fine to be like, hey, you know, I want to know how to fix this or I want to be able to fix this.

00:29:02.000 I also like the way Apple products work.

00:29:06.000 And part of that is Apple's control over how they work.

00:29:10.000 I like the way my Tesla works.

00:29:12.000 And part of that is Tesla's control over how they work.

00:29:15.000 So I do understand people that are like, yo, I want to be able to fix this.

00:29:20.000 But at the same time, I also, like, I don't want the quality of the product to change.

00:29:25.000 I don't want my computer to work.

00:29:27.000 I don't want to have the garbage spyware or whatever that tends to be ubiquitous through PC stuff in my Apple products as well.

00:29:39.000 I like that control that the company has.

00:29:41.000 And there are options.

00:29:42.000 If you don't want to have a company that has that kind of control of it, you can buy other stuff.

00:29:48.000 Yeah, and I think the market...

00:29:50.000 I know everyone's jumping to AI, but, like, we keep talking about, you know, cars.

00:29:54.000 I was meeting with these guys.

00:29:55.000 There's this new company, Crash Champions.

00:29:58.000 They, you know, collision repair type company.

00:30:00.000 And they were telling me, like, they're dying for technicians, people that have these skills, because, you know, most people don't these days, right?

00:30:05.000 And most people, you know, even just the simple ability to fix something in your car.

00:30:09.000 They went from, like, eight locations in 2018.

00:30:11.000 They've got, like, over 650 now.

00:30:14.000 So, you know, I'm not saying this plays into the AI thing.

00:30:18.000 But the market will respond.

00:30:19.000 And I think a lot of these things, it's interesting to see.

00:30:22.000 Yeah, we'd like to be able to fix it, but there is an argument here.

00:30:25.000 It's creating a lot of jobs, making it so that things are popping up.

00:30:28.000 But yeah, Crash Champions, I was talking to them last week and kind of fascinated with how the market is moving to that because it's a real skill to be able to fix those things that most people, they just don't have that skill set.

00:30:39.000 They're repairing stuff with new technology?

00:30:42.000 So they're just, I mean, they're repairing, it's a crash, you know, collision type repairs, which obviously I'm not saying normal folks should be able to do that, but I'm just saying it's interesting to see the job market kind of spring up because there's just certain things that AI, it's going to take a while to get there,

00:30:57.000 but the market's going to provide and respond.

00:31:01.000 All right, we're going to jump to this story here.

00:31:04.000 Court audio from 2020 reveals wife of Kilmar Abrego Garcia said he hit her repeatedly.

00:31:12.000 Shocker.

00:31:12.000 From the Post Millennial, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an alleged MS-13 gang member deported to El Salvador, faces additional allegations of abuse after a newly released audio recording featuring his wife, Jennifer Vasquez Ora, pleading to a judge for a temporary protection order against him.

00:31:29.000 In the audio recorded during an August 2020 court hearing, Sura had detailed the alleged physical abuse she suffered from Abrega Garcia, which included allegations that he grabbed her by the hair, slapped her, and hit her.

00:31:43.000 I mean, slapping is hitting, but...

00:31:45.000 On Wednesday, he hit me.

00:31:46.000 Like, around, like, three in the morning.

00:31:48.000 He would just wake up and, like, hit me, she told the judge.

00:31:51.000 Sura said she attempted to escape after witnessing a neighbor walk by and scream for help.

00:31:56.000 However, the attempt was unsuccessful.

00:31:58.000 She said Abrega Garcia then grabbed me from my hair and then... 1.00

00:32:02.000 He slapped me, according to the audio obtained by USA Today.

00:32:05.000 Is the audio here on this video, or is this?

00:32:10.000 Yeah, there's an audio.

00:32:11.000 All right, let's take a listen to this.

00:32:14.000 I came to fill out a protective order.

00:32:16.000 I think it was in December.

00:32:19.000 But I didn't show up to the court because his family, like, washed my brain telling me that his dad was sick and not to do it.

00:32:29.000 So I didn't do anything.

00:32:31.000 But after that, it was like, I would call the police.

00:32:36.000 I have a lot of police reports.

00:32:37.000 And I kept trying to get to the door basement to try to open the door, and then he pushed me.

00:32:42.000 So then when I was able to go outside to get a phone, I called 911 from a disconnected phone.

00:32:49.000 Now they took a long time to get to the house.

00:32:52.000 It was probably like 20, 30 minutes.

00:32:54.000 So I saw a neighbor walking his dog, and I opened the door, and I was like, "Help!"

00:32:59.000 And then when he heard me, like, he grabbed me from my hair, and then he slapped me.

00:33:03.000 And then the neighbor, like, he didn't know what to do.

00:33:05.000 He didn't know what to react.

00:33:06.000 I have pictures of the evidence, like, all the bruises.

00:33:09.000 Because even on Wednesday, he hit me, like, around, like, 3 in the morning.

00:33:12.000 He would just wake up and, like, hit me.

00:33:14.000 And then last Saturday for my daughter's birthday party, before I went to my daughter's birthday party...

00:33:20.000 He slapped me three times, and then last week I did call the police.

00:33:23.000 My sister called the police because he hit me in front of my sister.

00:33:28.000 Is anyone surprised about this?

00:33:30.000 It's a bad dude.

00:33:32.000 Very bad dude.

00:33:33.000 Look, my opinion on this whole Abrego Garcia situation is deport him regardless of any criminal activity that he's had.

00:33:45.000 The fact that he's here illegally is all I need to know. 0.95

00:33:49.000 Go home.

00:33:50.000 Send him out.

00:33:50.000 I don't care.

00:33:51.000 This stuff proves that he's bad, but this is all Democrat-Republican arguing over, you know, is he a good guy?

00:33:59.000 Is he a bad guy?

00:34:00.000 Is he an innocent Baba Angel? 0.99

00:34:01.000 Or is he a, you know, MS-13 gang evil man?

00:34:05.000 I don't care. 0.73

00:34:06.000 He's here illegally. 0.99

00:34:07.000 Send him home.

00:34:08.000 This is why Donald Trump was elected.

00:34:12.000 I don't see why this is...

00:34:14.000 What I think is crazy, too, is the Democrats have spent so much time trying to paint this guy as a saint, and he had a deportation order already.

00:34:23.000 He wasn't deported at the time.

00:34:27.000 It was, in fact, I think in 2019, the DOJ just decided not to send him home.

00:34:33.000 There was an order that he didn't have to go to someplace, but he could be sent to other places.

00:34:38.000 So he's had his due process.

00:34:40.000 You know, this order to deport him has been there this whole time.

00:34:45.000 He already went through the court system.

00:34:47.000 Like, this is not the case to die on.

00:34:51.000 Yet they've had, how many Democrats have gone down to El Salvador to, like, try and talk to this guy?

00:34:57.000 He's got the, you know, he's got the tattoos that are indicative of MS-13 activity.

00:35:03.000 He was picked up in front of a Home Depot in Maryland.

00:35:06.000 What was it?

00:35:08.000 After his first arrest, like 2019-ish.

00:35:11.000 And that was part of local cops doing an investigation into local gang activity.

00:35:19.000 Like, that's why he was picked up there.

00:35:21.000 He's beat up his wife, obviously, many times.

00:35:24.000 And even when she was interviewed about it and she said, are you afraid of your husband?

00:35:28.000 She said, my husband's alive.

00:35:29.000 That's all I can say.

00:35:30.000 After a really long pause.

00:35:32.000 Like, this is not a guy who, he's not American. 0.91

00:35:37.000 He already has a deportation order, he's a citizen of El Salvador, and now he's under their jurisdiction.

00:35:43.000 Like, how is this an issue for everybody?

00:35:45.000 You know what I mean?

00:35:46.000 And I cannot understand how Democrats continue to pick these issues to go all in on, that 10-15% of their own party is excited about it or thinks that it's some big deal.

00:35:57.000 To me, this is going to become, if they stick with this, and they go all in the way they are, if they double down, if they triple down, this will become the issue.

00:36:04.000 That the border has been for the past four years, right?

00:36:07.000 They're doubling down on the worst issue they have, which is the border.

00:36:11.000 They still think that this virtue signaling is going to work.

00:36:14.000 I mean, I don't think it's as big as the, you know, transgender surgeries for these prison inmates.

00:36:19.000 I don't think the Republicans will spend that much money on it. 0.98

00:36:21.000 But if they continue this into 2026, talking about this guy and all this stuff keeps coming out, I just think it's one of the stupidest political moves you can possibly make. 0.96

00:36:31.000 That's why I love it. 1.00

00:36:33.000 It's sort of the phenomenon of smelling blood in the water, a shark, just one drop of blood, and that motherfucker's going to go crazy. 0.99

00:36:39.000 Just like people looking for a problem, looking for a Trump problem, there's a drop of it, let's go crazy. 0.99

00:36:45.000 And it's almost like you can bait them.

00:36:47.000 I'm sure the administration's looking for ways to bait them, getting upset about things that aren't a big...

00:36:51.000 Well, I mean, look, but it's not even just the administration.

00:36:54.000 There was that, what was it, the reporter that was walking next to Ilhan Omar.

00:37:00.000 And asked her a question just completely and totally calmly normal.

00:37:06.000 Wasn't some kind of gotcha question.

00:37:09.000 F you.

00:37:10.000 Her response was F you for asking her a question.

00:37:13.000 That's kind of become the norm.

00:37:15.000 Someone replied to that video with, do you talk to your brother with that mouth?

00:37:22.000 I love it.

00:37:23.000 I assume she doesn't because, well, I'm not going to go there.

00:37:27.000 Anyways.

00:37:28.000 But yeah, this is kind of the norm for Democrats.

00:37:31.000 They think that, it seems like, they think that being edgy is going to win them votes because it wins them a popularity contest on the internet.

00:37:41.000 Sure, it does energize their base, and their base is like, yeah, you're sticking it to the man.

00:37:46.000 But that doesn't win elections.

00:37:48.000 They've learned nothing.

00:37:49.000 They continue to pick these issues that are showing that they've...

00:37:53.000 I mean, I thought 2024, what got me nervous was, okay, they're going to move away from the crazy stuff.

00:37:57.000 They're going to come out.

00:37:58.000 They're going to admit Harris was a horrible choice.

00:38:00.000 They're going to move away from the woke stuff.

00:38:02.000 They're going to get off the border.

00:38:03.000 They're going to say, no, let's have a sensible border policy.

00:38:06.000 Nope!

00:38:07.000 Just complete double down.

00:38:09.000 They're in complete denial.

00:38:11.000 And look, there's time to write the ship.

00:38:13.000 There's time for them to pick a nominee or have some sort of new leader come up.

00:38:17.000 But it's just wild to me on some of these issues.

00:38:19.000 I mean, even if you look at polling, you know, and I think, look, some of them are learning.

00:38:23.000 I mean, Gretchen Whitmer just did her little thing at the Trump event. 1.00

00:38:26.000 She got it.

00:38:27.000 Sort of.

00:38:27.000 She hit her face, which was...

00:38:29.000 No, no, this was the new one.

00:38:30.000 So that was White House.

00:38:31.000 She hit her face and then she got the backlash and realized, hey, I can't just be edgy, right?

00:38:35.000 I can't just keep being anti-Trump.

00:38:37.000 And enough people that are working class were like, what are you doing?

00:38:39.000 You're at the White House.

00:38:41.000 So then they had this public event and Trump...

00:38:43.000 Brought her up and kind of said, hey, do you want to say a few words?

00:38:46.000 And I think that eventually we might have to spoon feed them, but the Democrats are going to learn from their own voters that we have to have rational opinions.

00:38:55.000 And to just keep being radical, they should have learned from 24 it's not going to sell.

00:38:59.000 I hope they don't.

00:39:00.000 I hope they, you know, put AOC up there, put Bernie up there, but it's going to backfire politically.

00:39:06.000 Well, that's the plan that they have.

00:39:07.000 Did you hear Kamala Harris the other night?

00:39:09.000 Giving her speech at the Emerge Gala.

00:39:11.000 No one heard Kamala Harris give that speech.

00:39:13.000 You and 17 other Americans.

00:39:16.000 I watched it because I cover the news.

00:39:18.000 But she announced exactly who she thinks are the leaders of the party, and she praised them.

00:39:22.000 Cory Booker, Chris Van Hollen, Chris Murphy, Jasmine Crockett, Maxwell Frost, AOC, and Bernie Sanders.

00:39:28.000 These are the people that she mentioned who are like, you know, the pinnacles of the Democratic Party right now.

00:39:34.000 And all of these people, I mean, AOC definitely has some political talent, but Jasmine Crockett has no ideas. 1.00

00:39:40.000 Maxwell Frost is an idiot. 1.00

00:39:42.000 Chris Van Hollen went to El Salvador and he, you know, to talk. 1.00

00:39:45.000 Talked to this MS-13 guy and he never talked to his own constituents whose family – Rachel Morin, I think, murdered by –

00:39:54.000 Illegal immigrants. 1.00

00:39:55.000 He didn't reach out to her mom.

00:39:58.000 Cory Booker, the last thing I remember about him was he gave that speech.

00:40:01.000 And before that, I remember he pulled somebody out of a fire in Newark.

00:40:04.000 And that's it.

00:40:05.000 These are your top talent.

00:40:08.000 Do any of them...

00:40:09.000 And Bernie Sanders is, what, 80 million years old right now?

00:40:12.000 Yes.

00:40:12.000 Do any of them have one single issue that is something that they feel like, here's a solution, or here is a bold plan for the future?

00:40:18.000 I just, I don't feel like they have anything they bring to the table except orange man bed.

00:40:23.000 Yeah, that's pretty much what they have.

00:40:25.000 And now they're saying, you know, that America, the America we're living in now is Trump's horrible vision.

00:40:31.000 Well, we've got jobs up.

00:40:33.000 You know, we've got the border finally under control, which is, of course, why we had to bring Trump back.

00:40:39.000 Again, in the first place, he fixed the border, they destroyed it again, he had to come back to fix it.

00:40:43.000 Do you think that...

00:40:44.000 Go ahead.

00:40:45.000 Well, Cliff, back to something you said about rationality.

00:40:48.000 I think that a story like this changes the narrative quite a bit for a lot of people.

00:40:54.000 At least people more in the middle.

00:40:55.000 Maybe not your radical leftists, but...

00:40:58.000 This is something that happens a lot.

00:41:00.000 As someone who worked in victim advocacy for a prosecuting attorney's office where there's these domestic situations that happen and the wives of these people, girlfriends, boyfriends, whatever it is, it happens quite a bit where they cannot...

00:41:19.000 They struggle because these victims want to come forward.

00:41:21.000 They want to tell the courts what's going on.

00:41:24.000 But then they're worried that the person that they care about will then be deported.

00:41:28.000 And so they go back and forth.

00:41:29.000 They retract.

00:41:30.000 And it's this ongoing issue.

00:41:32.000 But I think for a lot of Americans, when they see, okay, this really is a bad dude.

00:41:38.000 I think that they're not going to be so much on the Democrat side of things.

00:41:42.000 Like I said, I like the fact that they're taking these positions because they're extremely unpopular positions to take.

00:41:49.000 And so I do think that if they do continue to stick to their guns and extort these positions, then you're going to see a lot of failure at the ballot box next year.

00:42:04.000 In two years.

00:42:05.000 And that's great.

00:42:06.000 Like, that's what I'm hoping for because I think the Democrat policies have been terrible for the U.S. But I do get the sense, I do have a feeling that they're going to figure it out.

00:42:18.000 I can't imagine that there aren't people like Carvel that are going to be like, look.

00:42:25.000 You have to stop.

00:42:26.000 Even if he's come out and he said, oh, you know, David Hogg is a fighter.

00:42:29.000 I know that he kind of bent the knee there, which is, in my opinion, a terrible idea.

00:42:32.000 You know behind the scenes, he's like, you can't expect to win with this.

00:42:36.000 These are all 80-20, 85-15 kind of issues.

00:42:43.000 And the more Trump can keep them off talking economics...

00:42:47.000 Whether it's good or bad, that's what the election is going to come down to.

00:42:50.000 If I'm the Democrats right now, the biggest missed opportunity is nobody is out there with some sort of economic plan that they're saying, this is how we're going to bring costs down.

00:42:59.000 This is how we're going to control the inflation.

00:43:01.000 And that's got to be their pivotal issue in 2026.

00:43:05.000 If they pick anything else, those issues, they're not with the American people on.

00:43:10.000 But once again, I know they'll say, oh, some random Democrat congressman has a plan out there to do X, Y, and Z financially.

00:43:17.000 But that's the missing piece.

00:43:18.000 If I'm in the Democrat strategy room, it's like, look, let's at least put something out so if things do downturn, if things are not going great economically or people are struggling with the cost of food, we at least have an alternative.

00:43:30.000 They're just playing Trump's game.

00:43:32.000 They're focused on all the wrong issues.

00:43:34.000 I don't want to give them too much advice.

00:43:36.000 But that's the missing piece.

00:43:38.000 You do that, then you at least have that Trump card to play when it's time in 2026.

00:43:43.000 But right now, you're screaming about every issue except the cost of goods.

00:43:47.000 I don't see how they are going to right this ship when they're continuing to bring to light or focus on the most radical people in their base.

00:44:00.000 But we're going to go to this story here, which is a bit...

00:44:03.000 It's kind of a similar...

00:44:06.000 issue because it's got the MS-13 bent.

00:44:08.000 Today, breaking from Bill Melugan.

00:44:13.000 Bill Melugan.

00:44:15.000 Three Virginia Department of Corrections officers were stabbed in a state prison today in what the state says was a premeditated attack involving five MS-13 gang members, all of whom are Salvadorian illegal aliens who've been convicted of violent crimes such as murder and rape.

00:44:30.000 So the statement says Richmond, the Virginia Department of Corrections is currently investigating the

00:44:36.000 Apparently premeditated stabbing of three corrections officers at the Wallens Ridge State Prison.

00:44:42.000 The attack occurred at approximately 9.45 a.m. on Friday, May 2nd.

00:44:46.000 Five of the six inmates involved in the attack are confirmed MS-13 gang members from El Salvador who are in this country illegally.

00:44:53.000 Each have been convicted of violent crimes including aggravated murder, first and second degree murder, and rape.

00:44:59.000 The other inmate involved in the attack is a confirmed member of the Serrano 13 gang and from the United States serving a sentence for second degree murder.

00:45:07.000 Send them all to Gitmo.

00:45:09.000 Yes.

00:45:10.000 Well, or Seacoat in El Salvador.

00:45:13.000 Like, why not?

00:45:14.000 Yeah, I mean, they're illegal aliens, so you can send them Seacoat, too. 0.97

00:45:17.000 Again, it's bad that there are all these criminals that we have that are illegal immigrants. 1.00

00:45:25.000 Just send them out. 0.98

00:45:27.000 Hold on.

00:45:27.000 They should all get sent right out.

00:45:30.000 What about, I'm not advocating for capital punishment, but if they were attacked and killed, did they kill guards?

00:45:36.000 Because I don't think we...

00:45:37.000 If they did a horrible enough thing, you don't send them anywhere.

00:45:39.000 They said that...

00:45:40.000 Well, they committed the attack.

00:45:42.000 They stabbed them.

00:45:42.000 They stabbed them, so I don't know that they...

00:45:44.000 Yeah, but they're convicted of murder, second-degree murder, and rape.

00:45:47.000 Yeah.

00:45:47.000 I mean, so before this incident, you know, they were already bad guys.

00:45:51.000 My first thought is, what the hell are illegal, violent, illegal immigrants doing in American prisons still? 1.00

00:45:57.000 Well, if they've committed a crime in the U.S., the U.S. will imprison them.

00:46:00.000 And hold them instead of sending them overseas.

00:46:02.000 You keep them up until free.

00:46:03.000 We only just got that deal with El Salvador.

00:46:06.000 And we're paying them, I think, $6 million a year to take people from our prisons.

00:46:10.000 And a counterargument for years, I mean, honestly, from the right and the left, was if somebody does something horrible here, let's imprison them here once they're convicted.

00:46:18.000 Because if we send them back, you know, how confident are we?

00:46:21.000 They're going to imprison them there.

00:46:22.000 And then they come back.

00:46:23.000 And historically, that has been the case.

00:46:25.000 They'll just get to whatever.

00:46:28.000 And we need to do something about that.

00:46:55.000 And we can't...

00:46:57.000 Allow one political party to put the brakes on that when the whole of the American people are against keeping these people here.

00:47:08.000 I think if that was Al-Qaeda, if there were five members of Al-Qaeda that we had had in prison and they stabbed an American guard, I think there would be a lot more anger from people across the spectrum because Al-Qaeda has been accepted as a terrorist organization generally.

00:47:21.000 And it's still like, I think people are resistant because it's Trump that's the one that said MS-13 is a... 1.00

00:47:26.000 Terrorist organization, people are like, ah, anything you say, Trump, is bullshit. 1.00

00:47:29.000 I don't agree with you. 1.00

00:47:30.000 But I think you're right.

00:47:32.000 You know, known al-Qaeda terrorists in prison attack a guard.

00:47:36.000 Oh, I don't think they're seeing the light of day.

00:47:38.000 Like, that's, you know, if they're already al-Qaeda terrorists.

00:47:40.000 And I'm not saying it was righteous to call these people terrorists.

00:47:43.000 I'm not saying that.

00:47:44.000 Maybe they were, maybe they weren't.

00:47:45.000 George Bush was a funny guy.

00:47:47.000 Well, Al-Qaeda?

00:47:48.000 Yeah.

00:47:49.000 No, it's right to call them terrorists. 0.98

00:47:50.000 Yeah, they're terrorists. 0.96

00:47:51.000 ISIS was the next one. 0.95

00:47:54.000 I was like, I just heard ISIS on the news.

00:47:55.000 I'm like, oh, now the next terrorist organization is in the books.

00:47:58.000 Now it's called ISIS, this one. 0.99

00:47:59.000 Anyway. 1.00

00:47:59.000 They're terrorists, too. 1.00

00:48:01.000 I think MS-13, this is definitely an example that these guys are.

00:48:05.000 And five guys don't speak for the entire MS-13, but they're definitely not giving it a good name.

00:48:10.000 Well, it's a criminal gang.

00:48:12.000 It's like an international criminal gang.

00:48:14.000 They do drugs and smuggling and human trafficking and all of this stuff.

00:48:19.000 The drug stuff, you're going to have a lot of libertarians be like, well, you know, if you're just like people do, the drugs they want to do, you wouldn't have this problem.

00:48:29.000 You know, the United States Institutes for Peace were arguing that the Taliban should not be cracking down on opium producers because it was bad for Afghans worldwide. 0.99

00:48:41.000 I can't believe that idiocy. 0.99

00:48:43.000 We were paying for that. 1.00

00:48:45.000 That's dumb. 1.00

00:48:46.000 But the point that I'm making is like, even if the libertarians go and make the stupid argument that, oh, well, you know, you can't do that because they're just selling drugs and it's fine. 1.00

00:48:57.000 Like, they're still human traffickers. 0.98

00:49:00.000 And that's actually... 0.98

00:49:01.000 You know, that's facilitating the rape of minors, like little kids. 0.99

00:49:07.000 Little kids. 0.89

00:49:08.000 You're not talking about, you know, adult women that are like, well, maybe if I go into the sex working industry, things will be fine. 1.00

00:49:14.000 No, you're talking about the rape of children.

00:49:17.000 So, in America, libertarians need to stop with their argument of, well, you know, they're just, if we stop taking the drugs, it's our fault.

00:49:26.000 Blame America.

00:49:27.000 It's not.

00:49:28.000 It's them. 0.99

00:49:29.000 Trafficking children.

00:49:31.000 That's the big Horrible thing that's happening.

00:49:34.000 And the thing is, we wouldn't be having any of these problems if the border hadn't have been open for so long where so many illegal immigrants were pouring through. 0.99

00:49:43.000 And we had no checks to see who it was that was showing up where they wanted for, you know, rape and murder in the country they're coming from. 0.55

00:49:52.000 Hey, we really should probably not let them in the U.S. That's the whole reason why there's an immigration process you're supposed to go through or even to apply for a visa is because we... 1.00

00:50:02.000 We want to vet these people before they come into our country. 1.00

00:50:04.000 And then they end up running amok and causing all these problems.

00:50:08.000 If we didn't have all the people, all these really bad people pouring in, it would be much less of a problem.

00:50:13.000 I was thinking about it because they called it an invasion.

00:50:15.000 And they literally, that Biden administration literally didn't defend our country.

00:50:18.000 They let people, foreign people.

00:50:20.000 He was complicit.

00:50:22.000 That's another level, but at the very least...

00:50:25.000 Surge the border.

00:50:26.000 Yeah, he did.

00:50:27.000 He told him to surge in his campaign, in his 2020 campaign.

00:50:31.000 Defend the country.

00:50:31.000 That's your job as the American government, as the military, is defend the country.

00:50:35.000 If people aren't coming in illegally, defend the country.

00:50:40.000 There was this crazy thing, too, where Texas tried to put up a border wall and the Biden administration took them to court and the court said, hey, Texas, you're not allowed to put up a border wall.

00:50:50.000 And now you have all of these judges who are saying you're not allowed.

00:50:54.000 OK, so you're not allowed to defend the country.

00:50:56.000 We already have discovered that.

00:50:58.000 And you had multiple states taking the Biden administration to court saying, you know, you're destroying the border, you're creating this crisis.

00:51:04.000 And judges were like, meh, whatever.

00:51:07.000 But now that the Trump administration is trying to get rid of criminals who don't belong here, who have orders of deportation already, who've committed crimes in America, the judges are saying, no, they have to stay here.

00:51:20.000 Like, what is up with this judiciary who for the past four years refused to enforce the law?

00:51:25.000 Refused to hold the administration accountable to the laws that Congress set out and now is preventing Now it's preventing the government from deporting people.

00:51:36.000 Why is that happening?

00:51:38.000 What kind of judiciary is this?

00:51:40.000 Why are they doing this?

00:51:41.000 Andrew Jackson's got a quote about the courts.

00:51:44.000 He said, they made their decision, now let them enforce it.

00:51:47.000 Well, that's the whole thing, right?

00:51:49.000 I mean, if people don't, and this is something that the Chief Justice said a couple of weeks ago, if people don't have respect for the court's orders, then...

00:51:59.000 We don't really have a third branch of government.

00:52:02.000 The Supreme Court, it's fascinating.

00:52:05.000 They can make a decision, but they can't do anything about it.

00:52:08.000 It's all entirely dependent on if we respect their decisions.

00:52:11.000 And the judiciary is getting to a point where a lot of their decisions are hard to respect.

00:52:16.000 Like the one recently where you had the ACLU bring a case.

00:52:21.000 They said the Trump administration was going to deport, I think, 50 Venezuelans from Anson, Texas, from a facility in Texas.

00:52:29.000 And the ACLU brought the case.

00:52:31.000 And they brought the case in the Northern District of Texas.

00:52:33.000 And they said, hey.

00:52:34.000 You know, you have to put a stop to this.

00:52:36.000 It's going to happen right now.

00:52:38.000 Simultaneously, they brought the case to the Fifth Circuit in Louisiana, and they brought the case to the Supreme Court all at once.

00:52:44.000 So the ACLU didn't give the lower courts time to make a decision, right?

00:52:49.000 The Northern District Court of Texas was like, hang on, we'll get to it.

00:52:53.000 You know, the Fifth Circuit said something as well.

00:52:55.000 And then the Supreme Court jumped in, completely bypassing the lower courts.

00:52:59.000 Now, the Supreme Court is an appellate court.

00:53:02.000 Like, that's...

00:53:03.000 You don't get to the Supreme Court without appealing and appealing and appealing.

00:53:07.000 It's an appellate court.

00:53:09.000 The Supreme Court jumped in and said, hey, Trump administration, you can't deport any of these people without a further order from this court, which makes no sense because that case was...

00:53:20.000 That case is a Texas case.

00:53:22.000 And what the ACLU did in that case was they said, you know, they wanted protection for this specific class of people.

00:53:29.000 They want to turn anybody who is potentially subject to deportation into one class nationwide so that they can bring one suit.

00:53:39.000 Because otherwise, per the Supreme Court rulings previously this year, you have to bring suit in the district where the people are being held, which means the ACLU has to run around to like hundreds of different districts to prevent this stuff.

00:53:51.000 And they want to just do one thing nationally.

00:53:53.000 But it's so fascinating to me that these courts just let all this happen.

00:53:59.000 All these judges were like, no, you can't.

00:54:01.000 The Biden administration doesn't have to do that.

00:54:03.000 They don't have to protect the border.

00:54:05.000 And neither can you states.

00:54:06.000 You can't protect the border.

00:54:08.000 and now they're not letting...

00:54:14.000 It makes no sense to me.

00:54:15.000 I think that the only sense I can make of it is that it's an emotional reaction or it's being incited by an emotional reaction to Trump's willingness to use intimidation instead of persuasion.

00:54:24.000 And people are literally afraid of the guy.

00:54:27.000 Well, part of it was a California...

00:54:28.000 I'm sorry, just one thing.

00:54:29.000 There was a California judge, Edward Chen, who was objecting to the deportation of Venezuelans in part because he thought that DHS was using negative stereotypes.

00:54:39.000 About the Venezuelans.

00:54:40.000 And you had a judge in, I forget her last name, but a judge in Boston who was saying that you can't eliminate the temporary protected status for a whole bunch of people because a lot of these people, in part because a lot of these people send remittances home and their families and their home countries depend on their income in the U.S. So you can't,

00:54:59.000 you know, so the U.S. can't restrict.

00:55:01.000 I can't change their status, their semi-legal status.

00:55:04.000 So those are both emotional reactions.

00:55:07.000 I understand your perspective, Ian, but that doesn't really address why they were behaving the way they did under the Biden administration.

00:55:18.000 That's a good point, man.

00:55:19.000 If they're like, well, we don't want to send these people back because it's mean.

00:55:24.000 You know, that doesn't address the fact that they weren't allowing people to prevent them from getting—they weren't allowing states from allowing them to get in.

00:55:31.000 And they had no inclination to force the Biden administration or even make rulings about the Biden administration actually not enforcing the law.

00:55:42.000 Because, I mean, that's the job of the executive.

00:55:45.000 Yeah, but the point you made earlier where you said, listen, they're here illegally.

00:55:47.000 We don't have to debate all the other things.

00:55:49.000 The crazy thing— Is that Democrats are talking now about MS-13.

00:55:54.000 MS-13, I mean, the ads are going to write themselves.

00:55:57.000 These guys, they're Los Angeles chapter, documented.

00:56:00.000 You do have to commit a murder to get in.

00:56:03.000 That is documented.

00:56:03.000 It's public.

00:56:04.000 Really?

00:56:05.000 So everybody does. 0.91

00:56:06.000 They have to do a murder.

00:56:07.000 The craziest thing I saw about MS-13, a majority of the hit jobs that they put out, the killings from them, are done by minors.

00:56:15.000 A majority of them.

00:56:16.000 Nobody talks about this, but when the Democrats are going to go in and defend MS-13, I'm telling you, it's going to become a huge talking point.

00:56:23.000 You heard it here first.

00:56:24.000 A majority of the killings that they do as a gang are people under the age of 18. If you don't think those people are bad people that no one is going to defend, they are subhuman people, I just think it's very clear that we're not just talking about people that came here illegally.

00:56:40.000 These are bad dudes.

00:56:42.000 Yeah, that's terrible.

00:56:43.000 Do they do that?

00:56:46.000 Minors have a different set of rules.

00:56:48.000 Yeah, because they're protected from being treated as an adult.

00:56:52.000 And they try to get them before they're 17, where it's kind of a gray area.

00:56:59.000 If they can get them when they're like 14 or 15, when they're clearly a child, and have them commit their first murder then.

00:57:08.000 Yeah, and I can't believe that this is happening in the United States, and we're just allowing this.

00:57:13.000 In other countries, if you're, like, a bad person and you go commit crimes in these countries, first off, they might not let you in to begin with.

00:57:20.000 But then, if you do bad stuff, you're going to go to jail forever.

00:57:24.000 And you don't have people, you know, that are like, oh, the poor MS-13 gang members.

00:57:29.000 We need to be there for them.

00:57:32.000 Those poor people.

00:57:33.000 It does.

00:57:33.000 It is, you know, and we've said this on the show a bunch of times, but it is really remarkable that they're going to use the...

00:57:40.000 Perspective of, oh, the poor MS-13 gang members.

00:57:43.000 You can say, oh, this is not, you know, they didn't get due process or whatever, but to really sit there and be like, oh, we're going to defend the gang members, you know, it's something that the Democrats can't help but do.

00:57:55.000 They're defending bad people.

00:57:57.000 Defending inmates for transgender surgery being saved by taxpayers.

00:58:01.000 I mean, I'm not saying that transgender folks that are convicted of much lesser crimes are MS-13, but man, you pick some funny people to go to bat for.

00:58:10.000 Well, yeah, there was a—did you guys talk about it on the show?

00:58:12.000 I probably missed it, and you probably did.

00:58:14.000 But the guy who is accused of firebombing a Tesla dealership in Kansas City, a judge released him in part because he has ADHD, is depressed, and needed access to his gender-affirming treatment.

00:58:28.000 He allegedly committed the act in March.

00:58:32.000 He started the gender treatment in March.

00:58:36.000 Do you think he was on hormones and the gender-firming care could have had to have done with what he actually decided to do?

00:58:44.000 Maybe.

00:58:44.000 I mean, estrogen does really weird things to the brain, so...

00:58:48.000 You said it, not me.

00:58:50.000 I sure did.

00:58:50.000 I sure did say it.

00:58:52.000 It's the truth.

00:58:53.000 We're going to jump to this story now.

00:58:55.000 Three House Democrats asked to be removed from the Trump impeachment resolution.

00:59:00.000 We were talking about how crazy Democrats are, but this might actually be indicating that they're...

00:59:06.000 Trying to get their S together.

00:59:09.000 From the Hill, a trio of House Democrats asked to be removed as co-sponsors of a resolution to impeach President Trump, a sign that many in the party do not want to go down the path of trying to remove the president from office, at least at the current moment.

00:59:24.000 Reps Queasy Mfumi?

00:59:27.000 From Maryland, Robin Kelly and Jerry Nadler had signed on as co-sponsors of Rep Cherie Thandier's impeachment resolution, which includes seven articles of impeachment.

00:59:44.000 But Tuesday afternoon, they went to the House floor and asked for their names to be taken off the legislation.

00:59:48.000 The House clerk granted their request.

00:59:51.000 Spokespeople from Kelly and Mifumi...

00:59:53.000 said the lawmakers initially signed on to the effort because they assumed it had been reviewed by leadership.

00:59:58.000 When they learned it was not, they asked for their names to be removed.

01:00:02.000 Congressman Mifumi removed his name as a co-sponsor from House Resolution 353 because he was made aware it was not cleared by Democratic leadership and not fully vetted legally.

01:00:11.000 And he preferred to err on the side of caution, the spokesperson for Mifumi said.

01:00:15.000 The congresswoman was under the impression that the resolution was drafted and reviewed by both the House Judiciary Committee and leadership when she originally signed on during a vote series on the floor.

01:00:24.000 Kelly's spokesman said Nadler's office did not respond to several requests.

01:00:28.000 Do you guys buy that those are the reasons that they want their names off?

01:00:34.000 Or do you think that this is just politically a bad move at this time?

01:00:40.000 Because I think we're all in agreement that should the Democrats take the House in the midterms, there will be articles of impeachment filed again.

01:00:48.000 John Ossoff and Chuck Schumer already basically said that they would do that, you know.

01:00:53.000 I think part of what happened here is that the congressman who brought the impeachment...

01:01:01.000 He turned out to look a little bit crazy, and I think maybe they didn't look a little bit crazy.

01:01:06.000 The guy's $730,000 in debt in his campaign.

01:01:09.000 And he left a bunch of beagles to die in a lab in New Jersey when his business went bankrupt.

01:01:15.000 Yeah, they're not sending their best, I will tell you that.

01:01:17.000 I think it is authentic that they got on it and then got off.

01:01:21.000 I don't think they purposely said, hey, I'm going to get on this resolution and now I'm going to get off it.

01:01:25.000 I think the reason is, once again, I'm not saying that the Democrats have had a full awakening.

01:01:30.000 But I think they probably saw the backlash.

01:01:32.000 They saw the backlash to just being super anti-Trump.

01:01:35.000 And enough of their normal Democrats in their district are probably like, are you serious?

01:01:40.000 Here we go again with this whole impeachment thing?

01:01:43.000 Let's just go after them on the issues.

01:01:45.000 Let's just go after them on this.

01:01:46.000 Let's just beat them in the 2026 election.

01:01:48.000 So I could be wrong.

01:01:49.000 They could have had this plan, and now they're going to be seen as moderates.

01:01:52.000 But Jerry Nadler, his district's a D plus 100.

01:01:56.000 I mean, he doesn't need to get moderate voters.

01:01:58.000 So I think there's probably some...

01:02:00.000 Have you ever looked at his district, the map?

01:02:02.000 No.

01:02:03.000 Okay, so it goes down the upper west side of Manhattan and like down for a bit and then it cuts across into Brooklyn.

01:02:11.000 It covers like two blocks.

01:02:16.000 To get to, like, another Democrat stronghold.

01:02:18.000 It just skips through the top of Bay Ridge, because Bay Ridge would not elect him, right?

01:02:23.000 Bay Ridge has Nicole Malletakis, and so it's just this teeny sliver, just so he can get to the rest of the Democrats.

01:02:29.000 Democrats are so good at districting.

01:02:32.000 They're so good at districting, and Republicans are like, well, we don't want to be seen as racist, so we have to make fair maps.

01:02:37.000 It's like, look at their maps. 0.98

01:02:38.000 I hate the Republicans for not having the balls to be as good as the Democrats are at that. 0.99

01:02:44.000 And I hate the Democrats for even doing that. 0.99

01:02:47.000 They should be simply like wards in a city.

01:02:53.000 All of Manhattan is one district.

01:02:56.000 There's going to become a battle.

01:02:58.000 Let me bring up New Hampshire and get you excited, Phil.

01:03:00.000 There's going to be a battle in New Hampshire where right now the legislature is working through new maps to present to Kelly Ayotte, the governor.

01:03:08.000 And I think it's going to become a very big national movement because they could realistically, legally, and I would argue correctly, adjust the maps to make one of those seats a competitive Republican seat.

01:03:22.000 And so I think there's a whole – there's a district right there that could move, but it's going to take a lot of pressure from folks out there.

01:03:28.000 Call your people in New Hampshire.

01:03:29.000 That would be stellar, but I mean, I think that the...

01:03:40.000 The rest of the country should follow suit.

01:03:42.000 But the idea that a two-block stretch connects two significantly...

01:03:48.000 It's crazy.

01:03:49.000 Yeah, significantly different pieces of New York.

01:03:56.000 It's just...

01:03:57.000 It's insane.

01:03:58.000 But I do want to point out...

01:04:01.000 A friend of mine sent me a text and asked, when did Chris Kattan become a politician?

01:04:06.000 We're talking about...

01:04:08.000 Oh yeah, he's the Tandiri guy.

01:04:10.000 You know, it does kind of look like Chris Kattan.

01:04:12.000 That's funny.

01:04:14.000 He's like a tan Chris Kattan.

01:04:15.000 I wrote this guy off as a loony because he was smiling a lot when he was talking, and then I gave him a chance on Piers Morgan.

01:04:21.000 I listened for a short period of time.

01:04:22.000 Okay, he's probably a normal guy.

01:04:24.000 I think Tim had a great combo with him on Piers Morgan.

01:04:26.000 I haven't seen the whole article yet.

01:04:28.000 But what I really want to know is, is there anything to this?

01:04:30.000 Are these impeachments legit?

01:04:31.000 Are these seven counts?

01:04:32.000 Any of them?

01:04:33.000 Is there anything about any of it that's legit?

01:04:35.000 If you listen to the discussion that Tim had with him, it was all just, well, I don't like Donald Trump.

01:04:43.000 and we don't like what he's done and this is unpopular and that's unpopular.

01:04:46.000 And that's as partisan as it gets.

01:04:49.000 So to say that this is something that is... 0.97

01:04:53.000 It rises to the level of impeachment is absolutely ridiculous.

01:04:57.000 I think that this is just a, like Tim says, I think it's just a stunt. 0.87

01:04:59.000 The Democrats don't have leadership, and so this guy's trying to plant his flag. 0.99

01:05:04.000 Because it's almost like that's too stupid to be real, but I think you might be right. 0.99

01:05:08.000 They didn't run it by leadership. 0.99

01:05:10.000 I didn't know that until just now. 0.99

01:05:11.000 Well, and it's so stupid because I think at a certain point, look. 0.95

01:05:15.000 You can always introduce articles of impeachment. 0.98

01:05:18.000 Again, you know, if you have the majority, which they don't even have, but if you have it and you want to go through the process, but your voters have to want that.

01:05:24.000 Your voters, the American people, not just your actual voters, but all these swing districts are going to be impacted by that.

01:05:31.000 And if it becomes this petty battle against Trump, and I just think with all of these, I mean, the guy was shot in the face.

01:05:38.000 The guy was impeached.

01:05:39.000 They tried to convict him of all these crazy things.

01:05:42.000 Once again, Democrats have not learned, and I think that's why these three are pulling their names.

01:05:48.000 Because I think as much as Schumer and them are kind of flirting with it, I think politically, behind the scenes, their strategists, if they have just an ounce of any type of strategy left, I don't think there's an appetite for this, even amongst Democrats.

01:06:02.000 No, I don't think so either.

01:06:03.000 And when you look at it, too, you keep seeing Democrat leadership start saying about how...

01:06:12.000 Democrats need to take to the streets and start protesting and all of that stuff.

01:06:16.000 And we're not seeing as much of that as you might have thought that we would. 0.64

01:06:21.000 There's a lot less energy for rioting and protests and screaming your bloody head off. 0.93

01:06:27.000 Retired boomers. 0.62

01:06:28.000 It's among normal people, and it's just the retired boomers who are out there doing their weird hippie dances and complaining about how nobody else is joining them. 0.96

01:06:37.000 Meanwhile, they're like, oh, you know, like, I'm having so much trouble affording my summer house and my normal home.

01:06:43.000 What am I going to do?

01:06:44.000 You know, these are the same people that are not sharing.

01:06:47.000 This is the group that is most adverse to, like, leaving their wealth behind.

01:06:52.000 They're still traveling around the world trying to find themselves.

01:06:55.000 You know, the rest of us are like, really?

01:06:57.000 We figured out in our 20s that we probably just need to pay our bills.

01:07:00.000 Well, with these particular articles of impeachment as well, like, for instance, the creation of an unlawful office in terms of Doge is kind of insanity because...

01:07:12.000 Doge was not going around and making these changes.

01:07:15.000 I think the media painted that very differently than what it actually was because Doge was just looking in.

01:07:22.000 They just were going through the books of these different agencies and seeing, well, what's really here?

01:07:26.000 And then they were making recommendations.

01:07:28.000 And then the agencies would do with that what they will.

01:07:32.000 Not only that, the Doge is actually the continuation of a project.

01:07:37.000 U.S. Digital Services.

01:07:38.000 It was USDS, and then it was Obama started in 2014, and then Trump renamed it.

01:07:44.000 They got an office day after to U.S. It's still U.S. DS, U.S. Doge offices now.

01:07:50.000 It's the same office.

01:07:51.000 So it was created by executive order legally.

01:07:53.000 It's legal to change the name of it.

01:07:55.000 It was legally created.

01:07:56.000 So the articles of impeachment are actually wrong because it wasn't created by Donald Trump.

01:08:05.000 It was created by Barack Obama.

01:08:07.000 But it has Elon's name attached to it, so we have to hate it.

01:08:11.000 Well, yeah.

01:08:11.000 I mean, that's really what it is.

01:08:13.000 It's all about the people that are involved, not about whether or not...

01:08:17.000 There's a necessity for it, which clearly there is.

01:08:21.000 Very few people think, oh, no, every dollar that the government spends is used very wisely, right down to the penny.

01:08:30.000 There's no waste, there's no fraud, blah, blah, blah.

01:08:32.000 No one thinks that.

01:08:33.000 There's not an American out there that would say, no, I think that they really spend our money wisely.

01:08:39.000 Yeah, even the people protesting, and I'll only use my parents as examples because they went out and protested.

01:08:43.000 They were reliving the late 60s.

01:08:45.000 60s, 1969.

01:08:46.000 Just recently they did?

01:08:47.000 Yeah, like a month ago.

01:08:48.000 And I was like, what are you guys protesting?

01:08:50.000 And they were like, well, Trump.

01:08:52.000 And I'm like, well, what are you protesting for?

01:08:53.000 And they were like, I don't know.

01:08:54.000 I gotta go, Ian.

01:08:55.000 My dad was like, I gotta go.

01:08:56.000 We'll talk about it later.

01:08:57.000 And I'm like, because there's nothing.

01:09:00.000 They don't...

01:09:01.000 I think they're afraid they're going to lose their retirement funds because of the kooky ladue going on in the government right now.

01:09:10.000 We're hitting an inevitable wall anyway at $36 trillion in debt.

01:09:15.000 So they're out there trying to stop that all from happening.

01:09:17.000 But unless you create, like you were saying earlier, Cliff, a better plan to make gas cheaper, unless you present that...

01:09:25.000 The protests don't have any emphasis.

01:09:27.000 I mean, the Vietnam protests were like, end the Vietnam War.

01:09:29.000 So they were anti-LBJ, stop the war.

01:09:33.000 I don't know if they actually had something to create.

01:09:35.000 I'm going to jump in real quick.

01:09:37.000 They weren't so much anti-Vietnam War because they were anti-war.

01:09:41.000 They were anti-Vietnam War because they were on the side of the communists.

01:09:44.000 But also because that was the first war where we actually saw war televised.

01:09:49.000 I mean, you had journalists.

01:09:50.000 Agreed.

01:09:51.000 It was real.

01:09:55.000 You know, jungle or whatever, actually filming what was going on.

01:09:57.000 This is what was being broadcast to people in the evening.

01:10:00.000 So I think part of it was when you look at that kind of carnage, that's really hard to stomach.

01:10:06.000 I mean, if the Dresden firebombing had been televised live to people's homes, people would have had a much different idea.

01:10:13.000 Of what was going on in Dresden as well.

01:10:15.000 I mean, seeing children set on fire because the air was on fire, that's going to be rough, right?

01:10:20.000 That's hard to stomach.

01:10:21.000 But I don't think it was just because everyone was on the side of the communists.

01:10:24.000 I think people were losing their sons and brothers and dads.

01:10:27.000 I'm talking about the people that were out in the streets protesting. 0.98

01:10:30.000 Like the dirty hippies? 0.98

01:10:32.000 Yeah, the people that were on college campuses that were protesting, they were protesting, not because they're against war. 0.94

01:10:41.000 As a concept, it's because they were on the side of the continent.

01:10:46.000 I mean, I wonder, like, I protested war myself, like, back in the old days of George W. Bush.

01:10:52.000 Yeah, but that was a totally different...

01:10:53.000 It was a totally different kind of war, but, like, it was because I thought that the yellow cake thing was a lie, and that it was probably, we should have no war, like, there's no reason to go to war against Iraq. 0.86

01:11:02.000 Yeah. 0.96

01:11:03.000 It seemed dumb. 0.72

01:11:03.000 But, like I said, I think the contexts were very, very different. 0.72

01:11:05.000 Sure.

01:11:06.000 You know, the...

01:11:07.000 They were actual communists.

01:11:09.000 The Vietnamese were actual communists. 0.78

01:11:11.000 Vietnam was a communist country.

01:11:13.000 North Vietnam was actually communists and they were fighting actual communists in the U.S. The earthy crunchies that were protesting, they were like, no, actually they have good ideas.

01:11:25.000 I think the piece that turned it, though, was that there were so many people actually seeing what was going on.

01:11:30.000 Yeah, I agree that the...

01:11:32.000 The effect of the news bringing that into people's homes can't be denied.

01:11:37.000 You see a guy...

01:11:38.000 I just watched The Wonder Years.

01:11:39.000 Oh, great show.

01:11:40.000 Some of that Vietnam footage is phenomenal, and it's on YouTube.

01:11:43.000 He'll be there with a platoon, and then the guy gets shot, and then they're banning you up his leg, and he's almost in shock just talking to the platoon, and then they medevac him out, and they're hanging out.

01:11:54.000 It's just a jungle.

01:11:54.000 We go outside and sit down there, and it could be there.

01:11:58.000 It's that realistic, and they're 18 years old.

01:12:02.000 They're all kids, yeah.

01:12:03.000 And it wasn't a popular war overall, and the fact that the draft was part of it was another big thing.

01:12:10.000 The wars that we fought in the 21st century, whether...

01:12:14.000 Regardless of your feeling about them, the people that went to war, they volunteered.

01:12:19.000 There was no draft.

01:12:20.000 Everybody that went there...

01:12:22.000 People would volunteer early.

01:12:24.000 Oh, yeah, yeah.

01:12:25.000 This stuff with Doge that people are protesting, if that's what they're protesting, it's so vague.

01:12:30.000 A lot of it's been happening behind the scenes that...

01:12:32.000 It seems like people don't really know what they're protesting.

01:12:34.000 Yeah, but let me throw a warning out there.

01:12:36.000 I mean, I thought the same thing, and then this Wisconsin Supreme Court race happened, and we lost by 10 there.

01:12:43.000 And if you look at the entire messaging, so Indivisible, the left-wing group, did a lot of work on the ground, and we got a hold of their scripts, and their entire script was simply, Elon Musk is a monster.

01:12:55.000 And the power of fear.

01:12:58.000 The power of just making Elon this horrible creature that, you know, whatever they're protesting for...

01:13:05.000 It doesn't matter if they don't have a message, right?

01:13:07.000 If you have a boogeyman, if you have—and Wisconsin proves it.

01:13:10.000 I wish it didn't, right?

01:13:12.000 I wish at the Wisconsin race you could see, hey, they were talking about, you know, certain issues that the left cared about.

01:13:17.000 No, it was Elon Musk is the devil, and if you want to stop him, we have to elect this Democrat to the Supreme Court in Wisconsin, and they won by 10 points.

01:13:27.000 Now, people can say Republicans were complacent, that we didn't have something that was motivating our side.

01:13:32.000 But that worries me.

01:13:33.000 The voters react that way, and their entire message was Elon bad.

01:13:37.000 You can stop him by voting for the Democrats.

01:13:39.000 Man, it's Canada.

01:13:40.000 Sorry, Libby, but this Canadian election, it's the ultimate example of Trump scaring people and then them voting against him.

01:13:47.000 You know, it was mostly boomers.

01:13:49.000 It was mostly boomers that voted liberal.

01:13:51.000 We ran a story on that the other day.

01:13:54.000 Boomers were terrified of Trump, and everybody else just wanted to be able to have decent housing.

01:13:58.000 But it was the boomers that gave this election in Canada to the liberals. 0.91

01:14:02.000 Why are the boomers so afraid of Donald Trump?

01:14:05.000 Because they're his same age group.

01:14:07.000 I feel like that has something to do with it.

01:14:09.000 Like, he's their peer. 0.99

01:14:10.000 And so they all watched him, like, be this, you know, dick playboy this whole time. 0.99

01:14:16.000 And they hate his tone of voice. 0.99

01:14:18.000 They, like, hate his...

01:14:19.000 Tone.

01:14:20.000 They hate his oeuvre.

01:14:21.000 They hate his vibe.

01:14:23.000 That's what they hate about him.

01:14:24.000 This always happens with my mom.

01:14:27.000 My mom's very lefty and everything.

01:14:29.000 She'll be like, I hate Donald Trump.

01:14:33.000 I'll be like, well, what about this idea?

01:14:34.000 She's like, that's not a bad idea.

01:14:36.000 I'm like, what about this?

01:14:36.000 She's like, no, that's a pretty good idea.

01:14:39.000 I'm like, so what do you hate about Trump?

01:14:40.000 She's like, well, I...

01:14:41.000 I just hate everything about him, you know?

01:14:44.000 It's like they hate the man.

01:14:45.000 There's no substance there.

01:14:47.000 There's no substance, yeah.

01:14:48.000 Yeah.

01:14:48.000 All right, so we're going to jump to this story.

01:14:51.000 From the post-millennial, HHS recommends therapy, not sex change, to treat gender dysphoria.

01:14:59.000 Thank God.

01:15:00.000 The Department of Health and Human Services has released its treatment for pediatric gender dysphoria review, in which it recommends a greater emphasis on behavioral therapy when addressing gender dysphoria in minors over invasive and permanent medical procedures such as pharmaceuticals or surgery.

01:15:15.000 This is the most obvious thing that we have talked about, I think, ever on the show.

01:15:21.000 The idea of using surgery on children.

01:15:26.000 When they're saying that they're experiencing gender dysphoria is insane.

01:15:31.000 They go on.

01:15:36.000 What do you guys think about this?

01:15:55.000 Well, I'm really glad to see them being willing to put this out here because that's truly what's happening.

01:16:03.000 Children cannot consent to make those changes about their bodies.

01:16:07.000 They don't even know what they are yet or who they are.

01:16:10.000 Adults are one thing.

01:16:12.000 Children should not be having this happen to them.

01:16:15.000 And in many cases, if you even recommend that they go to therapy and try to make sure that they're really sure that before they start getting on hormone blockers or anything like that, that's not even allowed.

01:16:27.000 And then you're blocking them from getting their gender-affirming care. 0.95

01:16:31.000 I used to play Wonder Woman out in my backyard when I was like, it was like a couple weeks ago.

01:16:36.000 No, I'm just kidding.

01:16:36.000 This is like when I was like six.

01:16:37.000 And I'd be whipping around all the whips and like...

01:16:40.000 I just pretended to be Wonder Woman.

01:16:42.000 And then my parents were like, hey, come in and eat your spinach.

01:16:44.000 I'm like, does Wonder Woman eat spinach? 1.00

01:16:45.000 And they said yes.

01:16:46.000 So I went and ate the spinach, Phil.

01:16:48.000 And then if they were crazy, they would have probably thought I was a woman. 0.89

01:16:52.000 They could have easily been like, uh-oh, my kid is actually a woman on the inside.

01:16:55.000 I was just an actor.

01:16:57.000 They enhanced my creativity.

01:16:58.000 They were like, it's okay to pretend to be...

01:17:00.000 Throw that lasso of truth around your waist. 1.00

01:17:03.000 Next thing you know, they're chopping your genitals off. 1.00

01:17:04.000 And she kind of looked like my mom, so I was identifying with my mother. 0.98

01:17:08.000 Did you have the Wonder Woman underoos?

01:17:11.000 No, I had Superman.

01:17:13.000 And then my brother had a Batman.

01:17:14.000 I think I had a Batman one.

01:17:15.000 They didn't encourage me to be like a girl just because I played a woman on stage multiple times.

01:17:22.000 What's that?

01:17:23.000 I was just joking around.

01:17:24.000 Were you, though?

01:17:25.000 Yeah.

01:17:25.000 Oh, okay.

01:17:26.000 It's always a joke when you talk about underoos.

01:17:28.000 I was lucky to have sane parents.

01:17:29.000 And we didn't talk about trans people.

01:17:31.000 Underoos.

01:17:32.000 Because I wasn't trans.

01:17:33.000 And if my parents had been scared or made a crazy decision guided by the media or by their peers and they actually took me and started to be like, well, do you feel like a girl?

01:17:45.000 Like, if they had really sat me down and had it as I was six, I would have went along with it.

01:17:49.000 I don't know.

01:17:49.000 I would have...

01:17:50.000 They're my parents.

01:17:50.000 I would have trusted them.

01:17:51.000 That question alone is insane.

01:17:54.000 Do you feel like a girl?

01:17:55.000 I don't know.

01:17:57.000 I have no idea what that feels like.

01:17:59.000 How is a man, male, supposed to know if they feel like a female? 0.59

01:18:06.000 Especially a child.

01:18:08.000 Before puberty.

01:18:11.000 It's like you almost feel androgynous.

01:18:13.000 Definitely there's the boy and the girl stuff going on.

01:18:16.000 That doesn't really kick in until later, though, that you have any sense of the kinds of differences there are.

01:18:23.000 When I was a little kid, I had a crush on my babysitter, but that wasn't a developed understanding of what I wanted from a relationship or whatever.

01:18:34.000 It was like, oh, she's cute. 0.98

01:18:36.000 I was a kid.

01:18:37.000 I didn't know.

01:18:38.000 I would chase girls around on the playground and try and kiss them. 1.00

01:18:41.000 Not really, but like...

01:18:43.000 Playfully, because I would see it on TV.

01:18:44.000 I was mimicking, I'm like, boys are supposed to like girls, so I played that role.

01:18:48.000 And if I'd been around a bunch of people being like, you're supposed to be a girl deep down, I would have been like, probably started playing that role.

01:18:53.000 I don't know.

01:18:54.000 Yeah, well, and particularly, kids go through so many social pressures that...

01:18:58.000 They are looking for outlets.

01:19:00.000 A lot of the girls that actually used to become eating disorders and things like that, instead, they are choosing transgenderism.

01:19:09.000 The book's been out for a few years.

01:19:11.000 There's a very good book by Abigail Schreier.

01:19:14.000 It's Irreversible Damage.

01:19:16.000 The transgender craze seducing our daughters came out in 2020. 1.00

01:19:20.000 But it's a very good book.

01:19:22.000 And it talks about how...

01:19:24.000 These young girls, they have, it's popular among friend groups, where friend groups will get this idea of like, hey, we want to reject this idea of femininity, and instead we're going to become either non-binary or trans, and they're going to change their ideology,

01:19:41.000 but it's popular with these groups as a social thing, which is just insanity.

01:19:47.000 And it's so influential.

01:19:48.000 It is.

01:19:49.000 The five people, even as an adult, your six closest friends basically...

01:19:53.000 Craft your identity.

01:19:55.000 You would do it along with them.

01:19:56.000 And as a kid, man, to have your...

01:19:58.000 And if one of them is a jockey and is more popular than you, it's like, ah, you have the way you look up to them.

01:20:03.000 Yeah, I mean, it's definitely a status symbol as well.

01:20:05.000 You look at the people in Hollywood that are like, oh, I have three trans children.

01:20:10.000 It's like, do you really believe that you have three trans children?

01:20:16.000 It's super rare, but all three of yours are.

01:20:19.000 Really?

01:20:19.000 Who's the one responsible for that, really?

01:20:22.000 Gender dysphoria is a real thing, but there's no reason for now it to be exploding at these really crazy levels compared to what it's been in the past.

01:20:33.000 It's a social thing that's happened.

01:20:35.000 I'm not even sure that gender dysphoria is real.

01:20:37.000 The other thing, too, that I think is interesting about what you're saying is that the rates of homosexuality has basically stayed steady. 0.94

01:20:46.000 And the rates of trans has skyrocketed. 1.00

01:20:49.000 It's sort of like, why does homosexuality stay steady? 1.00

01:20:52.000 But trans is off the charts. 0.99

01:20:54.000 It's artificially done.

01:20:57.000 But I think that with this HHS report, this is the difference between having a man leading the HHS and a man who thinks he's a woman leading.

01:21:07.000 The HHS.

01:21:08.000 This was Rachel Levine, who was the assistant HHS secretary.

01:21:13.000 Pennsylvania's finest.

01:21:14.000 Pennsylvania's finest, who took his mom out of a nursing home ahead of sending all the COVID patients back to the nursing home.

01:21:21.000 Very consistent.

01:21:22.000 Yeah, I mean, real ethical fella here.

01:21:25.000 But this is a person who was consistently saying that it's important to affirm your kids, put your kids through sex changes, had a big impact on the Biden administration.

01:21:35.000 Joe Biden came out and...

01:21:36.000 told parents to affirm their kids, absolutely nauseating. 0.99

01:21:39.000 And now we have a man who knows he's a man in charge, and we're not getting this kind of crap. 0.99

01:21:44.000 This was a promise that Trump made. 0.99

01:21:46.000 We're going to stop sex-changing kids in the U.S., and here we are delivering it. 0.57

01:21:51.000 I'm going to use my parents again.

01:21:52.000 Oh, you're going to say something?

01:21:53.000 Well, just adolescence as a whole is kids figuring out who they are and who they're going to be.

01:21:59.000 That's essentially what you go through, is that coming of age.

01:22:05.000 You have all of, you know, this trans stuff that is going on. 0.99

01:22:09.000 Look, as a like a middle schooler, I would have considered myself to be more of a tomboy.

01:22:15.000 I'm like, oh, yeah, I like sports.

01:22:16.000 I like soccer.

01:22:17.000 I like, you know, I think guns are cool.

01:22:20.000 I had a habit of collecting knives.

01:22:22.000 I thought that those were fun and those were the more masculine hobbies.

01:22:27.000 But if now.

01:22:29.000 Girls that might just be tomboys and have some, you know, maybe traditionally masculine interest, we're telling them, oh, maybe you're not a girl. 1.00

01:22:37.000 Maybe you're not who we thought you were based on what genitalia you were born with. 0.99

01:22:42.000 Here, would you like to explore something else instead?

01:22:45.000 I think that we're missing a Mr. Rogers person in reality right now.

01:22:50.000 And it's tough to centralize power and give that guy a TV show because who watches television?

01:22:55.000 A lot of it's on the internet.

01:22:56.000 But just someone telling you, you're okay who you are.

01:23:00.000 You are you, and that's okay.

01:23:02.000 And it feels weird sometimes.

01:23:03.000 That's okay, too.

01:23:05.000 There was this wild thing.

01:23:06.000 So Robert De Niro's son just came out as trans, went from being Aaron to A-A-R-O-N to A-I-R-Y-N. 1.00

01:23:15.000 So the name's the same, it's just spelled different.

01:23:18.000 But one of the things that he was saying when he was talking to Them magazine about coming out as trans was that as a child, he never heard that he was just right, just the way he is.

01:23:28.000 And so now he's finding that by fully...

01:23:32.000 Now he's finding that.

01:23:34.000 Totally.

01:23:34.000 But there's this weird idea that you're just right just the way you are by undergoing drastic medical intervention.

01:23:41.000 That doesn't make any sense.

01:23:43.000 It's like you were talking about with the what?

01:23:45.000 I was going to say that's exactly the opposite of what they say.

01:23:46.000 When I was a kid in the 90s, they were always saying, you can be anything you want.

01:23:50.000 You're okay for who you are.

01:23:51.000 And then at a certain point, that changed to...

01:23:53.000 They would tell people you're not being represented for who you really are.

01:23:56.000 Trust me, I know who you really are.

01:23:58.000 And people that are unfortunately vulnerable to that will fall for that.

01:24:01.000 They'll immediately think, oh, well, these feelings that I feel like, the unsurety of puberty, the weird feelings you feel like, the weird feelings you haven't felt your whole life up until that point, it gets manipulated.

01:24:12.000 And that's what they love to do.

01:24:13.000 Like, Phil, we always talk about how they skin suit stuff.

01:24:15.000 You know, they take the argument and they make it this thing against, like, the oppressor, which is, like, your feelings and your emotions and, like, everything stressful.

01:24:20.000 Like, if DoorDash is, like, the biggest stress you have in your life every day, like, this can be, like, fundamentally...

01:24:26.000 It can be devastating for these people, but we don't see it like that because we all live harder lives.

01:24:30.000 They do, though.

01:24:31.000 That's like the biggest thing for them.

01:24:33.000 It's scary.

01:24:34.000 It's gross.

01:24:34.000 The goal does seem to make people think that the reality that they live in is actually the oppressor.

01:24:42.000 Yes, exactly.

01:24:43.000 Exactly what I'm saying.

01:24:44.000 Your body is your oppressor.

01:24:46.000 You can escape this oppression by taking control over your body and by coming out as a trans person, which is your true self, and that gives you some control over this oppression.

01:25:01.000 That you're experiencing by just existing.

01:25:04.000 And you hear them say things like, I didn't ask to be born.

01:25:07.000 That's one of the things that kids say it, but also that's something that the leftists have really globbed onto.

01:25:13.000 They're like, well, you didn't ask for this.

01:25:15.000 I didn't ask to be born, so I should be able to do this, this, and this so I can break free of the oppression of this reality. 0.98

01:25:23.000 The number of the crazy liberals that have multiple kids. 0.95

01:25:27.000 That are non-binary or trans. 0.97

01:25:29.000 Like, there's just no way that there isn't some sort of input and influence in the household.

01:25:34.000 All over Hollywood.

01:25:35.000 Yeah, because they want to be a victim, right?

01:25:37.000 They don't want to be victors.

01:25:38.000 It gives, like you said, they want to stand up to the oppressor.

01:25:41.000 They want to be somebody that gets to say, I'm different.

01:25:45.000 You know, I'm standing up to the man.

01:25:46.000 And I got to tell you, this issue, okay, when I, as a diehard Ron Paul libertarian, this was one of those issues that really got me To realize, you know what?

01:25:57.000 I am going to go all in on Trump and Team Red, right?

01:26:01.000 I get the debt.

01:26:02.000 I get a lot of the things that happened under Trump's 16. Obviously, I was not supportive of Biden.

01:26:07.000 But when they are chopping off kids' private parts, when they are trying to tell these people that they should identify as something completely different, I mean, that's the time when you wake up and say, hey, listen, maybe it's time to fight against some of this radical stuff.

01:26:22.000 This issue, though.

01:26:23.000 When I came out and supported Trump, yeah, did I lose a couple friends?

01:26:26.000 And were people just rabid against Trump?

01:26:28.000 Sure.

01:26:29.000 When I come out on certain issues and people on the other side, yeah, I lose a couple friends.

01:26:33.000 I have lost lifelong relationships over this issue just because I come out and say that telling a nine-year-old girl or a nine-year-old boy that they are not...

01:26:44.000 The gender that they were assigned at birth, that that's Looney Tunes. 0.82

01:26:48.000 That's crazy.

01:26:49.000 And there are—it's not a lot, but there are some people that really I was baffled by that I've lost relationships because they are just so bought into this idea that they get to choose, and you're oppressing them.

01:27:02.000 I reject the concept of gender at all nowadays.

01:27:06.000 I don't think that it's—because what is it?

01:27:08.000 It's your gender—it's your sex spirit? 0.59

01:27:11.000 Well, and even from a science perspective here, just cut all the social part of it out.

01:27:17.000 People that go through these sex change surgeries, there's a lot of sexual dysfunction there.

01:27:25.000 It causes sexual dysfunction where they no longer have access to their reproductive system that they were born with. 0.87

01:27:33.000 That's a huge thing.

01:27:35.000 We see a lot of the adults that have transitioned and gone through that whole process.

01:27:40.000 That they're unhappy with the end result.

01:27:43.000 And we're seeing more and more people push back against that.

01:27:46.000 Maybe they're deciding to detransition, but they caused a problem to their body. 0.99

01:27:51.000 They're having issues with their body now, health problems.

01:27:54.000 And so just from that aspect alone, I think we need to pump the brakes a little bit and be like, whoa, these kids want to make these changes.

01:28:01.000 Well, do they know what they're signing up for in terms of their health?

01:28:04.000 They can't.

01:28:05.000 No, they can't.

01:28:06.000 There was also this thing that I think people forget about, which is, Marsha Bowman, who's trans, who was the trans doctor heading WPATH, which is the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, has done a bunch of sex change surgeries and has done sex change surgeries on minors, 0.93

01:28:25.000 including working on Jazz Jennings, and told Jazz Jennings, like, you're going to be so pretty, you could do porn, right? 0.79

01:28:31.000 So that's a great doctor to have. 0.89

01:28:33.000 That's a great aspiration, right?

01:28:35.000 Right, sure.

01:28:35.000 But Bowman said...

01:28:38.000 As if everybody that does porn is pretty. 0.89

01:28:40.000 Come on.

01:28:42.000 But Bowman said in a talk, I think at Duke, that none of the patients he'd had who had, and I'm using wrong pronouns, I guess, but none of the patients that he'd had who had gone on puberty,

01:28:59.000 boys who had gone on puberty blockers and then gone on to cross-sex hormones, none of them were ever capable. 0.59

01:29:06.000 Of having an orgasm once they were adults.

01:29:09.000 So none of them were ever capable of having like a fulfilling sexual relationship.

01:29:15.000 And the idea, the reason that they put, and this is per WPATH also, the reason to have minors go on these drugs is so that they are better able to pass once they're adults.

01:29:27.000 So the idea is once you're an adult, you will look more like that thing you wished you were when you were a child.

01:29:34.000 That's the whole point of doing it young.

01:29:36.000 You completely destroy sexual function, which means you're destroying adult relationships.

01:29:41.000 Like, how are you going to have a fulfilling adult relationship, a romantic relationship, if you can't ever, like, achieve orgasm?

01:29:48.000 Jazz Jennings doesn't know what an orgasm is. 1.00

01:29:50.000 I think that the two parts, the grand manipulation is calling it care, gender-affirming care, those words affirming and care, because I've had this conversation with a couple of boomers, my parents, and my mom's like, Straight up common sense.

01:30:05.000 And my father's like, they need care, Ian.

01:30:07.000 They need care.

01:30:08.000 And it's like, I agree.

01:30:10.000 Now you have to define what that means. 1.00

01:30:11.000 Cutting their testicles off? 1.00

01:30:13.000 Cutting a 9-year-old's testicles off? 1.00

01:30:14.000 Cutting a 15-year-old's testicles off? 1.00

01:30:15.000 Cutting her boobs off? 1.00

01:30:16.000 Is that care? 1.00

01:30:17.000 If they were elbowing their kid in the face, would that be care?

01:30:21.000 To cause them a little bit of physical trauma if the kid was asking for it?

01:30:24.000 Would that be care?

01:30:25.000 Don't deny them their identity, Ian.

01:30:26.000 Would we go in there and seize the kid from the psycho-abusive father?

01:30:31.000 Knowing that, affirming and care, because he's like a paramedic by trade.

01:30:37.000 He's a fireman.

01:30:38.000 There's not much greater than the hero of saving the vulnerable.

01:30:41.000 And these people feel like that's what they're doing.

01:30:44.000 That now to tack it off is that people that have gone through this horror are now adults and they're speaking about it.

01:30:50.000 And there's enough of them that they're a political force.

01:30:52.000 So I have a lot of faith.

01:30:54.000 You can see the HHS has already made a move on it.

01:30:56.000 Well, I mean, this administration has been good, but there's no guarantee that if the Democrats win again, the next administration or the next Democrat administration won't undo all this stuff and then have another insane man.

01:31:12.000 That dresses like a woman running HHS saying things like, oh, you need to affirm your child's gender and have... 1.00

01:31:20.000 Mutilating surgery performed on them.

01:31:22.000 Yeah, and even with this gender-affirming care, because sometimes they'll go the route of puberty blockers.

01:31:28.000 You're like, well, you think you're confused.

01:31:30.000 Let's just hold off puberty.

01:31:32.000 Osteoporosis.

01:31:33.000 If you hold off puberty, there's huge health effects that come along with that.

01:31:37.000 You can't just block a child's puberty and be like, oh, well, let's let it go a few years, and then at 16, 18, whatever, then we'll let their body do what it's going to do then.

01:31:47.000 No, it leaves them with permanent changes.

01:31:49.000 So you deciding to put your kids on puberty blockers is going to affect them for the rest of their life.

01:31:55.000 And parents need to be aware of that and not just hear terms like gender-affirming care. 0.93

01:32:00.000 We want our kids that are struggling to feel loved.

01:32:04.000 We want them to feel like they have a place in this world, that they matter, that suicide isn't an option.

01:32:10.000 These are all things that we want for these kids.

01:32:14.000 Making decisions very quickly about, oh, we're going to do something that's going to affect your body for the rest of your life is so drastic.

01:32:21.000 There's no such thing as gender.

01:32:22.000 It's your sex. 0.82

01:32:23.000 Can't change it.

01:32:24.000 Get over it.

01:32:24.000 We're going to go to Super Chats and Rumble Rants.

01:32:28.000 We're going to start off with AlphaTurkey says, A hundred fills could definitely take on a silverback. 0.99

01:32:34.000 Granted, we might lose 38 fills.

01:32:36.000 We still have 62 left and an unsubscribed to life gorilla.

01:32:40.000 How would you attack the gorilla if you...

01:32:43.000 We're split into 100 pieces and you controlled them all?

01:32:45.000 With machine guns.

01:32:46.000 Well, if you had no weapons but your hands, would you split up into groups?

01:32:48.000 Would you all go in at once and try and dogpile the thing?

01:32:51.000 You'd have to do as much dogpiling as you can because if you go in one at a time, the gorilla's gonna kill you.

01:32:57.000 Now, there might possibly be the possibility that...

01:33:02.000 I don't even think this is possible, but some people might make the argument that you'll tire the gorilla out before you exhaust the 100 people.

01:33:11.000 I don't know that that's the case because gorillas, they're incredibly strong and the amount of effort they have to use to smash you into a puddle is probably minimal.

01:33:21.000 It depends on the size of the arena.

01:33:22.000 If you're in a tight space like this, it's all happening at once.

01:33:25.000 But if, and also, the gorilla might get afraid.

01:33:28.000 Morale should be included because a hunter feels would be pretty scary.

01:33:31.000 I can't tell you how much I talked to my son about this very scenario this week.

01:33:35.000 I don't think that there is any...

01:33:38.000 Like any world in which multiple humans can take on a gorilla.

01:33:43.000 Yeah, he didn't think so either.

01:33:44.000 He painted the scenario of the gorilla picking up one human like this and just like helicoptering everybody else.

01:33:50.000 But what if like a Phil jumped out of a bush and he's like, blah!

01:33:52.000 And then another three more of them jumped out and he's like, blah!

01:33:55.000 The gorilla might be traumatized.

01:33:57.000 I think the gorilla has a better handle on gorilla warfare than a bunch of Phil's do, probably.

01:34:03.000 A silverback gorilla, just people... 0.61

01:34:05.000 A chimpanzee will tear you limb from limb.

01:34:07.000 And a chimpanzee is not nearly as big as a... 0.96

01:34:11.000 They're vicious.

01:34:13.000 That's awesome.

01:34:14.000 They go right for it.

01:34:15.000 Just so you know, if you ever come into the Contact in the Wild.

01:34:17.000 That's great.

01:34:18.000 Protect yourself.

01:34:19.000 That's great.

01:34:19.000 Yeah, not you personally.

01:34:20.000 So Shane H. Wilder says in the Rumble Rants, tomorrow the people of Cameron County, Texas will vote to turn Starbase from an unincorporated worktown into a Texas city.

01:34:31.000 Is Elon Musk going to be the mayor?

01:34:33.000 I don't think so.

01:34:34.000 But they're going to incorporate it and it'll be Starbase, Texas.

01:34:37.000 Okay.

01:34:38.000 Let's see.

01:34:40.000 I thought he maybe needs another hat, you know?

01:34:42.000 Well, he's a busy guy, but apparently he's going to be stepping back from Doge and doing less work on Doge.

01:34:48.000 He's not getting out of Doge.

01:34:49.000 Well, he only had like 130 days to do it.

01:34:52.000 Well, he's 100 days now.

01:34:54.000 He's going to be only working like one day irregularly so that way he can extend the work.

01:35:01.000 Because, you know, they've got kind of their marching orders and stuff.

01:35:06.000 PerpetualJonathan says, No, it's not.

01:35:16.000 No.

01:35:16.000 It was playing that song, and I'll take credit for that.

01:35:22.000 Let's see.

01:35:28.000 He had surgery on his ankle and lost his job just looking for help for my family for the time it'll be off.

01:35:34.000 It's GoFundMe.com slash F-E-E-B 9B90.

01:35:40.000 Feeb 9B90.

01:35:44.000 Careful soon, man. 0.99

01:35:45.000 Ankles suck. 1.00

01:35:46.000 It does. 1.00

01:35:48.000 It does.

01:35:51.000 Let's see.

01:35:52.000 Some more Super Chats.

01:35:56.000 Arsonist YouTube says, I think we should keep an eye on China. 0.99

01:35:59.000 Apparently, students are protesting.

01:36:02.000 Really?

01:36:03.000 I don't know if that's serious or not.

01:36:06.000 Students in China?

01:36:07.000 Yeah, they'll shut that down real quick.

01:36:09.000 I don't think that's even true, though.

01:36:11.000 Yeah, I don't see anything about that.

01:36:13.000 I've seen a lot from David Zhang.

01:36:15.000 He's been talking about the student protest.

01:36:18.000 And it's been on a couple people that are watching it.

01:36:23.000 But whenever the Chinese protests around this time of year, we should pay attention.

01:36:27.000 I'm taking the mindset of, I'm going to be really empathic and compassionate, just on the level with the Chinese citizens and the Canadian citizens.

01:36:40.000 Make them your friends, because it is possible that there will be Democratic Republic uprisings in other countries.

01:36:46.000 I don't think it's possible in China.

01:36:48.000 It's the most challenging country that it could happen in, for sure.

01:36:53.000 But that doesn't mean it can't.

01:36:55.000 And if it happened, it wouldn't happen from the outside.

01:36:58.000 It would be awesome to see. 0.99

01:37:02.000 The CCP sucks. 1.00

01:37:04.000 They're pretty horrible, to be sure. 1.00

01:37:08.000 K2TheSwiss says, We love Courtney.

01:37:11.000 Thank you guys.

01:37:12.000 Thank you very much. 0.99

01:37:13.000 And then Colin Rouse once says, Cliff, go Birds, Dallas sucks. 0.98

01:37:16.000 I thought you were going to say, Cliff, we hate Cliff. 0.97

01:37:20.000 Go Birds, that's right, baby.

01:37:22.000 I wouldn't read that.

01:37:23.000 I wouldn't do that.

01:37:25.000 Go Eagles.

01:37:26.000 It's been a good year.

01:37:27.000 We got the Super Bowl, got the White House back.

01:37:31.000 I'm not tired of winning yet.

01:37:33.000 Isaac Vanderbilt says, I've been living off of ramen and bologna for 30 years.

01:37:38.000 And then he goes on to say, you know who grocery prices don't affect?

01:37:41.000 Singles.

01:37:43.000 That's right.

01:37:44.000 Well, single men, I think. 0.56

01:37:46.000 Single guys. 0.62

01:37:47.000 I think that women like to have more fun and experiment in the kitchen more than dudes do. 1.00

01:37:51.000 Dudes are just like, whatever, you know, stuff some ramen in the food hole and I'm good.

01:37:57.000 And more zucchini.

01:37:59.000 Zucchini is great.

01:38:01.000 That's true.

01:38:01.000 Raw or cooked.

01:38:02.000 I literally forgot about zucchini.

01:38:04.000 I'm going to have to get some zucchini.

01:38:06.000 RageLB says, from Rumble Rants, need a shower after Phil tonight?

01:38:11.000 Come chill.

01:38:12.000 RageLB on Rumble and at RageLB3 on YouTube.

01:38:15.000 I'm not sure exactly why you'd need a shower.

01:38:18.000 I showered before work, and I haven't been particularly dirty, I don't think.

01:38:24.000 Jacob Jones says, Yes, sir.

01:38:39.000 Yes, sir. 0.94

01:38:40.000 Gulags are necessary for those deviants.

01:38:44.000 there you know I I was very much a libertarian minded person until all the trans and furry stuff and and I'm just like well maybe I am an authoritarian and we can just toss people in jail for no reason well I mean for being 1.00

01:38:59.000 a pedo furry like that's yeah you know you guys all you guys all have that experience there where you do post something you ever once a while it just it strikes that cord and all of a sudden

01:39:08.000 I try not to do it in text.

01:39:13.000 I try to do it with my voice so they can hear the tone.

01:39:16.000 Because otherwise they go, It's just a cavalcade of black letters on a white background.

01:39:23.000 One time I said something like, this was last year, I said, it's 2024 and we're still seeing people using the argument that men are paid more than women for the same jobs.

01:39:36.000 It's just not true.

01:39:38.000 You would have thought I went off the deep end.

01:39:41.000 It's funny the things that bring out the liberals on social media.

01:39:47.000 Sometimes it can be just innocuous things and then the wrong person either retweets it or puts it in front of their audience. 0.91

01:39:52.000 And then next thing you know, your timeline, your mentions are just full of crazy leftists saying crazy leftist things.

01:40:00.000 I call that the Keith Olbermann special.

01:40:02.000 He starts pushing stuff, it is like rabid, just looney tunes coming after you.

01:40:07.000 I think there was so much online from the 2024 primary that like conservatives were like really going back and forth with one another that then finally when like a Democrat showed up to tell me that they didn't like what I was saying.

01:40:19.000 I'm like, oh, wow, I haven't seen one of these in a while.

01:40:21.000 I'm like, how have you been?

01:40:23.000 That was the Orange Man bad moment of this year.

01:40:37.000 They went wild.

01:40:39.000 That was a wild, wild press conference.

01:40:42.000 Zelensky really stuck his neck out speaking and doing it in English because that language barrier was sad.

01:40:48.000 He was confused.

01:40:49.000 You think that's what it was?

01:40:50.000 Yeah.

01:40:51.000 He said, you're going to know how this feels.

01:40:55.000 Yeah, he did another interview more recently in Ukrainian or Russian.

01:41:01.000 He did it in his native...

01:41:02.000 Tongue.

01:41:03.000 And I think he's just decided, I'm not doing any more English.

01:41:06.000 No, I don't think he decided that.

01:41:08.000 I think the backlash from that interview, you're probably right.

01:41:11.000 He probably struggled a little bit, but I just think the backlash from that, they probably sat down and said, well, where do we go from here?

01:41:17.000 I guess we're going to have to backtrack a little bit.

01:41:19.000 Just my thoughts.

01:41:22.000 Let's see.

01:41:25.000 Mac12 says, hey, Phil, the Icon tools at Harbor Freight have a lifetime warranty.

01:41:30.000 Well, it's good to know.

01:41:31.000 Got them.

01:41:32.000 Who wants to go return your stuff all the time, though?

01:41:34.000 That's kind of annoying.

01:41:35.000 It's like, oh man, my hammer broke again.

01:41:37.000 I'm going to stick with my DeWalt stuff.

01:41:39.000 I like the DeWalt electric stuff.

01:41:42.000 I've got to get a good chainsaw.

01:41:43.000 Got any good ones?

01:41:44.000 Steel is a good chainsaw.

01:41:46.000 The company's called Steel?

01:41:47.000 Steel.

01:41:47.000 It's not S-T-I-H-L.

01:41:51.000 It's a German company.

01:41:53.000 They make good knives, too, the Germans. 1.00

01:41:55.000 Yeah, they do.

01:41:56.000 Germans and Japanese know what they're doing.

01:41:58.000 Yeah, that folded steel.

01:41:59.000 That Damascus steel.

01:42:01.000 I don't know if that's German or Japanese, though.

01:42:02.000 Nine is German.

01:42:03.000 It's also a number.

01:42:05.000 Red Muskrat says, I'm a machinist by trade, but I love buying old comps and cutting into them.

01:42:11.000 Tinkering is my bag.

01:42:12.000 I'm not sure what a comp is.

01:42:14.000 Computer?

01:42:15.000 Computer?

01:42:15.000 Maybe.

01:42:17.000 Cutting into them and seeing what's, you know, I guess.

01:42:20.000 Into them circuit boards?

01:42:21.000 Yeah, maybe.

01:42:23.000 Joel Jamal says, Hi from Australia.

01:42:25.000 It's great to see Cliff Malonian in the show.

01:42:28.000 Much love from Turning Point Australia.

01:42:30.000 Wish us luck in our elections today.

01:42:32.000 You're having elections?

01:42:33.000 I hope that the furthest right-wingers that are running win, because then you might get some people that are kind of centrist.

01:42:41.000 Joel is doing the Lord's work.

01:42:43.000 God bless him.

01:42:44.000 Good luck to him.

01:42:45.000 I always laugh, but when people are trying to kind of get things moving in some of these areas where...

01:42:50.000 They're really seen as not just the resistance, but I mean, it's, you know, to try to organize in a place like that.

01:42:56.000 But he's doubling down doing good things.

01:42:58.000 So thanks for the shout out, Joel.

01:43:01.000 Let's see.

01:43:05.000 Sergeant Buck says there are two ways to fix a printer, a driver reinstall or driving a wedge.

01:43:10.000 Just throw that garbage out and buy a new one.

01:43:13.000 I'm with Libby on this. 0.70

01:43:14.000 I think I'm going to have to stop buying the $40 printers.

01:43:17.000 There's got to be like an $800 printer out there that might work for a couple years.

01:43:21.000 Doesn't exist?

01:43:22.000 I don't think so.

01:43:22.000 Not like for home use.

01:43:25.000 Yeah.

01:43:25.000 You'd have to buy an office printer.

01:43:28.000 They have some nice ones.

01:43:29.000 Rico.

01:43:29.000 Whatever.

01:43:30.000 My last office printer was great and I was the printer whisperer.

01:43:34.000 If it ever broke, they came to me before we called IT.

01:43:37.000 That's a good spot to be in.

01:43:39.000 They need you.

01:43:40.000 Did the hitting work?

01:43:41.000 Kicking it?

01:43:42.000 That was not what I normally went with first.

01:43:44.000 No.

01:43:45.000 Well.

01:43:46.000 To each his own.

01:43:48.000 I still love that scene in Office Space when they take the fax machine out.

01:43:52.000 I will say, that does work for pickle jars, though.

01:43:55.000 If you're ever trying to open a pickle jar and you can't get it, if you hit it on the floor a few times in a few different places, it's actually way easier to open.

01:44:02.000 Yeah, that works.

01:44:04.000 T.C. Blair says, I live in the county where the gang attack happened.

01:44:07.000 We have friends and family who work there.

01:44:09.000 Keep us in southwest Virginia in your prayers, folks.

01:44:12.000 Yeah, definitely.

01:44:13.000 Absolutely, we will.

01:44:14.000 Yeah, it's a terrible thing.

01:44:18.000 And like I said, we should send them all out.

01:44:22.000 Just get them out of here.

01:44:23.000 There's no reason for us to have to deal with them.

01:44:27.000 We just don't want them to come back.

01:44:28.000 We can't have them coming back.

01:44:30.000 Luckily, the border's closed.

01:44:34.000 Billdozer74 says Phil's libertarian voice is sexy.

01:44:37.000 It's not intended to be, but you know.

01:44:41.000 Jimmy B. Good said they had a reason to go to war with Iraq.

01:44:44.000 Saddam stopped using dollars to sell his oil to stick it to us, and the banksters don't allow that. 0.81

01:44:50.000 Mess with the banksters' money and they kill you.

01:44:51.000 I don't know if that's the case.

01:44:53.000 I don't know if that's the case because at least the first Iraq war, not the second Iraq war, the first Iraq war, I really do think that the Saudis had a lot to do with it.

01:45:06.000 The fact that Iraq invaded Kuwait and said, okay. 0.91

01:45:10.000 We're coming in here.

01:45:11.000 The Saudis were like, ah, this kind of makes us nervous, so maybe we should have a U.S. base, which is a terrible idea to have a U.S. base in Saudi Arabia, but they really, I think they did want the U.S. to kind of ensure that the Saudi royal family would not be hung up from bridges,

01:45:29.000 which is what tends to happen to monarchs that lose power.

01:45:37.000 But yeah.

01:45:39.000 Duinde says, Big L on your opinion on Apple, Phil.

01:45:42.000 I don't think you're making the argument you think you're making.

01:45:45.000 Well, I do think that I'm making the argument I think I'm making.

01:45:48.000 I like Apple products to stay the way that I would like Apple products to stay the way they are.

01:45:53.000 I'm comfortable with the fact that if I want to fix an Apple product, I have to go back to the Apple store or don't have to, but I go back to the Apple store to get the warranty repair.

01:46:04.000 I don't like the idea of outside companies messing around with Apple because I like the way Apple products work generally, except for the brightness on my phone.

01:46:12.000 I just want it to stay bright when I turn it.

01:46:14.000 Leave it bright.

01:46:16.000 Don't ever turn it down, ever.

01:46:18.000 Stop adjusting it.

01:46:19.000 I turn it up for a reason.

01:46:20.000 I never, ever, ever want you to turn it down.

01:46:23.000 I think he might be talking about the idea that it's a more secure product because they have it all done in their factory without external...

01:46:33.000 But it might be more vulnerable if it's more proprietary.

01:46:39.000 Why?

01:46:40.000 Because no one really knows what they're doing.

01:46:42.000 So if you have access to the parts...

01:46:43.000 Are you saying Apple doesn't know what they're doing?

01:46:45.000 Oh, they know what they're doing.

01:46:47.000 Okay.

01:46:47.000 But they don't have to tell people, necessarily.

01:46:49.000 Yeah.

01:46:50.000 I think there is one regard that Apple doesn't know what they're doing.

01:46:52.000 I really want my headphone jack back.

01:46:54.000 That's still a gripe for me.

01:46:56.000 I like wired headphones, and I just want it back.

01:46:59.000 You know, you were a boomer.

01:47:01.000 You know.

01:47:02.000 I always thought Apple, it's weird how they'll take parts away, because they're like, they just don't need that anymore.

01:47:06.000 I'm like, give me six USBs on my computer.

01:47:09.000 Like, don't take them away.

01:47:10.000 I do think they could probably use more USBs.

01:47:15.000 I think my laptop has three.

01:47:18.000 They assume you'll buy a peripheral that plugs in that gives you like eight USBs.

01:47:22.000 Yeah, I'm not totally against that.

01:47:24.000 I do like the idea of everything being USB-C now.

01:47:27.000 Oh my God, it's so great.

01:47:28.000 I do like that.

01:47:29.000 That's like the world coming together.

01:47:30.000 That was the European Union did that.

01:47:32.000 No, no, I didn't mean that I wanted them to make the connections.

01:47:37.000 I just like that.

01:47:39.000 I like the fact that USB-Cs are smaller and they're more convenient than USB-Bs.

01:47:44.000 You can flip them upside down and they still plug in.

01:47:46.000 That's so huge.

01:47:47.000 It was Europe who said you can't just have a million different kinds of chargers all the time.

01:47:52.000 You can't be changing this all the time.

01:47:54.000 And I was against that too.

01:47:55.000 I hated the idea.

01:47:57.000 I was like, don't mess with my Apple products.

01:47:59.000 I don't want you...

01:48:01.000 You know, European Union messing with my Apple products because I like the way my Apple products work and I don't want governments involved saying you have to make them work this way because usually that means they make them work worse.

01:48:13.000 Yeah, I've had worse luck with USB-C than Lightning though, at least so far.

01:48:18.000 When it comes to audio stuff, because it has something to do with lightning, it's easier for things to go out and come back in, versus with USB-C, the way that Apple has done it right now.

01:48:31.000 Like I said, for auditory things, it's not working so great if you want to be wired in.

01:48:36.000 Wow.

01:48:37.000 I didn't know that.

01:48:40.000 Let's see.

01:48:41.000 Now we're moving around.

01:48:44.000 Ron says, Canada won't even let Americans with DUI convictions into the country, yet we have Dems defending the worst of the worst here.

01:48:55.000 I agree, it is crazy. 0.69

01:48:56.000 In Canada, they're actually very, very strict, and it's been a pain in the butt when it comes to touring bands, because...

01:49:06.000 It's frequent.

01:49:07.000 Are there a fair number of DUIs in touring bands?

01:49:11.000 Maybe not in the bands themselves, but when it comes to crew, I mean, you know, and of course the crew, they should know, they should look at the routing and they should say, okay, you're going to Canada, I have a DUI, I can't do this tour, but they don't.

01:49:26.000 And then you have to figure it out at the border and it's a pain in the butt.

01:49:31.000 But yes. 0.89

01:49:32.000 Canada is very, very strict when it comes to which Americans are allowed in.

01:49:40.000 If you're not an American, I hear it's fairly easy to get into Canada for numerous reasons.

01:49:44.000 But if you've got a DUI, look out.

01:49:48.000 Let's see here.

01:49:50.000 What have we got?

01:49:51.000 The Emperor's Champion said, If attempting to impeach the president on behalf of MS-13 is not treason, then I don't know what is.

01:49:59.000 I think that doesn't count as treason, because treason has a specific meaning, and I think it's in wartime is when it's actually treason.

01:50:10.000 It might be sedition.

01:50:11.000 That's sedition.

01:50:12.000 Yeah.

01:50:12.000 This might be sedition.

01:50:13.000 It might be a more accurate phrase.

01:50:15.000 But it is definitely counter to what is best for the American people.

01:50:23.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr. says, Ian's lying.

01:50:26.000 We played DC Adventures just last week.

01:50:28.000 I love that guy.

01:50:29.000 Why does he say I'm lying?

01:50:30.000 Well, did you listen?

01:50:32.000 No, I didn't play DC Adventures with Raymond.

01:50:34.000 Is it fun, Raymond?

01:50:35.000 I never even heard of it.

01:50:36.000 I don't know.

01:50:37.000 I love Raymond.

01:50:38.000 Should I do this one?

01:50:45.000 That's a pretty good one.

01:50:46.000 It's your choice, man.

01:50:47.000 Pokemon said, Phil drives a trans, ma 'am. 1.00

01:50:52.000 I don't.

01:50:53.000 No, he doesn't.

01:50:55.000 Do you leak what you drive?

01:50:57.000 For real?

01:50:57.000 What?

01:50:58.000 Do you leak what you actually drive?

01:51:00.000 I've said that I drive a Tesla.

01:51:02.000 Yeah.

01:51:02.000 It's a sick Tesla.

01:51:04.000 Thank you very much.

01:51:05.000 Raymond was talking about when we were pretending to be Wonder Woman and Spider-Man down in the basement last week.

01:51:10.000 What?

01:51:11.000 That was a sight.

01:51:12.000 Did I say that out loud?

01:51:14.000 Yeah.

01:51:16.000 Oh, man.

01:51:18.000 Sean Turner, scene in cheese, says, anyone bring up the cartels guys caught smuggling 180?

01:51:26.000 1,000 rounds of CO.

01:51:28.000 CO equals Neo CA.

01:51:30.000 But they get minimum trucks to the CO Supermax to El Chapo or to give to TDA.

01:51:35.000 I think he's talking about 180,000 rounds of.308.

01:51:39.000 I'm not sure if they were 30 cal rounds.

01:51:43.000 But, you know, that's a lot of suppressive fire if they're firing from a full-auto belt-fed machine gun, which, you know, the cartels absolutely have.

01:51:55.000 And I haven't heard anything more about it, though.

01:51:58.000 Go back to that.

01:51:59.000 Was he saying Colorado and calling Colorado Neo-California?

01:52:04.000 Yeah.

01:52:04.000 Oh, I see.

01:52:05.000 Colorado equals Neo-California.

01:52:07.000 Got it.

01:52:08.000 Bet they get minimum trucks to the Colorado Supermax to get El Chapo or give to TDA.

01:52:14.000 I think that they're probably going to go out of the country, and those rounds will be used to fight.

01:52:23.000 Well, you know,

01:52:43.000 that's an extra piece of equipment that a lot of people don't really want to buy.

01:52:47.000 Right, exactly.

01:52:49.000 Which, and I mean, I can't say that I blame them.

01:52:53.000 Thunderbolt?

01:52:53.000 Is that what it's called?

01:52:54.000 The new technology?

01:52:55.000 Thunderbolt technology?

01:52:56.000 No, it's a couple years old.

01:52:58.000 It's like Thunderbolt 4, I think, or 5 they're up to now.

01:53:00.000 I think so, something like that. 0.78

01:53:01.000 Ridiculous.

01:53:02.000 It's almost as fast as HDMI, I think. 0.86

01:53:03.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:53:05.000 Probably, I don't know.

01:53:05.000 And it's a USB-C plug.

01:53:07.000 Wow.

01:53:09.000 Let's see.

01:53:13.000 Red Muskrat says, I'm a machinist by trade, but I, oh no, I already read that one.

01:53:19.000 What do we got here?

01:53:21.000 Let's see this one.

01:53:25.000 Which one?

01:53:26.000 Oh, okay.

01:53:28.000 Jamie Brocodile says, Boomers are afraid of Trump because they still get their news from TV.

01:53:34.000 They should get online to find out what's actually going on.

01:53:37.000 I mean, look, you can find information that's critical or outlets that are just as critical of Trump.

01:53:45.000 On the internet as if you watch regular TV.

01:53:49.000 Now granted, people that expect the TV stations to tell them the truth.

01:53:54.000 Like if you're a boomer and you remember the days when it was just three news stations and Cronkite was like, and that's the way it is.

01:54:02.000 I mean, it makes sense why you would still kind of have that inclination.

01:54:06.000 But I don't think that just getting on the internet is the solution because people will still be looking for...

01:54:12.000 Actually, it might even be worse because they're looking for confirmation of the things they kind of already believe.

01:54:18.000 And if they believe that Trump's a bad guy, you know?

01:54:21.000 Well, it was wild when you looked at the post-election polling of kind of, I mean, Trump moved to the right with every single demographic except the boomers.

01:54:31.000 And so I really did a deep dive trying to understand.

01:54:33.000 I think that's a good argument, which is they still get traditional media.

01:54:36.000 I think a better argument is...

01:54:39.000 They aren't as impacted by some of the Biden policies when it comes to the economy.

01:54:43.000 They're kind of hitting that retirement age.

01:54:45.000 Life is good.

01:54:47.000 Things are okay.

01:54:48.000 People vote to kind of keep things okay.

01:54:50.000 And I think of all the groups, it's a mix of them getting traditional media, but I think it was they just weren't impacted as much as everybody else.

01:54:57.000 But it's the only, which is, you know, kudos to Trump, is the only group that didn't move to the right.

01:55:03.000 Yeah, I mean, you said kudos to Trump for...

01:55:08.000 That every other group moves to the right.

01:55:10.000 Yeah, I mean, I do think that that's because they're more inclined to...

01:55:15.000 They're not set in their ways, honestly.

01:55:17.000 Like, if you're a boomer and you kind of have an opinion of Donald Trump, I don't know what it's going to take to move you.

01:55:24.000 And they're certainly not going to go out and look for information that's contrary to what their preconceived notions are.

01:55:32.000 You can get through if you talk about the liberal economic order and their...

01:55:35.000 They're smart, and they actually care.

01:55:37.000 They'll listen.

01:55:38.000 I mean, I've had some experience explaining, like, global technocratic banking and how they've been gutting our country for 100 years, and they're like, okay, the Kennedy assassination, that sparks us.

01:55:47.000 If you go through to talk about the Kennedy assassination with them, the boomers, they're like, oh, yeah, CIA, got you, yes, yes, yes. 0.94

01:55:54.000 Well, and more of them already own their houses, though, too.

01:55:57.000 Sure.

01:55:57.000 That could be a really big factor.

01:56:02.000 Mr. That One Guy says, Hey team, just wanted to share information.

01:56:06.000 Previous guest, Angry Cops, Richard High.

01:56:08.000 Great dude.

01:56:10.000 You should subscribe to him on YouTube.

01:56:12.000 The SVU detective has brought up Buffalo School District is hindering investigation into child abuse, abduction, and worse.

01:56:21.000 They could use the attention.

01:56:22.000 Yeah, you can watch the unsubscribed podcast.

01:56:27.000 Richard or Angry Cops went on there and outlined a lot of the really just disgusting behavior from the Buffalo School Department.

01:56:37.000 And, you know, he's an SVU cop, Special Victims Unit.

01:56:40.000 This is literally right up his alley.

01:56:43.000 And as soon as he basically put the Buffalo Schools on blast, they started trying to discredit him and tried to discredit the podcast.

01:56:55.000 Now again, this is a special victim's unit detective.

01:56:59.000 This is what he does.

01:57:01.000 And the school is trying to save face and they're being selective with the wording.

01:57:08.000 They're trying to imply that he's lying.

01:57:10.000 They're not calling them lies.

01:57:12.000 There's all kinds of just sus behavior by the Buffalo schools.

01:57:17.000 I can't...

01:57:18.000 I don't speak for anyone at the Post Millennial, but I know someone over there, and it'd be cool if you guys covered it.

01:57:24.000 I actually was looking at YouTube about that the other day.

01:57:28.000 But yeah, we haven't covered it yet.

01:57:30.000 Rich is a great dude.

01:57:31.000 I met him the other night on the show.

01:57:33.000 He's a great guy.

01:57:37.000 Him and actually all the guys on the Unsub podcast, Eli, Donut, the fat electrician, they're all great dudes.

01:57:45.000 Donut is such a good nickname.

01:57:47.000 Donut operator.

01:57:48.000 Joey bag of donuts.

01:57:50.000 So good.

01:57:51.000 So, yeah, you should subscribe to the unsubscribed podcast.

01:57:56.000 Let's see.

01:57:57.000 Isaac Vanderbilt says repeal the 19th.

01:57:59.000 It just makes sense.

01:58:00.000 How do you feel about that, Libby?

01:58:02.000 What was that?

01:58:04.000 Isaac Vanderbilt says repeal the 19th.

01:58:06.000 It just makes sense. 1.00

01:58:07.000 Oh, that's just so stupid. 1.00

01:58:09.000 Oh, boy. 1.00

01:58:10.000 Just dumb. 0.97

01:58:13.000 Adam Brinman said, I haven't looked at the actual adjusted numbers, but other than the COVID rebound, all Biden's jobs reports are, after reactions, almost all negligible, minimal. 0.97

01:58:25.000 That's my understanding as well.

01:58:26.000 The Biden administration made a big deal about the jobs that they had during their administration, but the whole country was shut down.

01:58:39.000 Largely, when he took office.

01:58:42.000 And so the idea that he actually created these jobs, it was just these places of business opening back up because we realized that they could, you know, that it was time for the restrictions to happen.

01:58:55.000 Sometimes someone would pick up two part-time jobs because they couldn't find a full-time job, and then they'd list it as two jobs.

01:59:01.000 Yeah.

01:59:01.000 And also, the jobs could be redundant.

01:59:06.000 Hire someone to dig a hole and then hire someone to fill the hole up just so that people stay busy and the Federal Reserve can keep getting their money at interest.

01:59:13.000 Like with Works Progress.

01:59:15.000 There was stuff like that.

01:59:16.000 Works Progress Administration under FDR.

01:59:19.000 There was stuff like that.

01:59:20.000 Just dig a hole.

01:59:21.000 I mean, they're always going to spin it, right?

01:59:23.000 It's like, hey, what number can we take?

01:59:25.000 And I love, though, when there are certain things under Biden that the Democrats really championed.

01:59:29.000 And now if it's better under Trump, it's like, what do we do now?

01:59:32.000 But that's why I say it's always about, okay, where are they when it comes time to vote?

01:59:36.000 And if they have the job and they're feeling good, great.

01:59:39.000 But they're always going to just take these numbers and run with them.

01:59:44.000 Yeah, I do think that there's going to be as much twisting of the information as possible.

01:59:49.000 Yaquilin? I can't even pronounce that.

01:59:55.000 Yaquiindia.

01:59:56.000 There we go.

01:59:57.000 It says, gender ideology is the most sexist thing ever. 0.85

02:00:01.000 I mean, maybe, but it's all BS anyways.

02:00:08.000 Gritz, 15 years, says, I have yet to meet a trans person that doesn't exhibit an incomprehensible level of self-loathing.

02:00:16.000 I mean, I think that I've met a couple that...

02:00:19.000 Are fairly reasonable.

02:00:21.000 I mean, Blair White is fairly reasonable.

02:00:23.000 Blair's always, recently was like, I don't even know if I'm trans.

02:00:26.000 I think I'm a cross-dresser.

02:00:28.000 I mean, you know, I mean...

02:00:31.000 Sorry to interrupt you.

02:00:32.000 No, no, it's fine.

02:00:33.000 Yeah, Blair's awesome, dude.

02:00:35.000 I love that guy. 1.00

02:00:37.000 He's the fucking man. 1.00

02:00:39.000 Lucy Fear says, My friend is making a daily podcast telling the story of 250 years of America across 250 episodes. 1.00

02:00:48.000 Premieres July 4th, 2025.

02:00:50.000 Ends July 4th, 2026.

02:00:53.000 Go give him a follow at at250yearsofusa on X. Go give him a follow, guys.

02:01:00.000 Me and Ian were just talking before the show about, what was that called?

02:01:04.000 The Great War, I think.

02:01:05.000 On YouTube.

02:01:06.000 Yes, correct.

02:01:07.000 If it's 250 episodes like that each year, that's so sick.

02:01:10.000 I love stuff like that.

02:01:13.000 Pick up the Great War.

02:01:14.000 If you want to understand why modern war is basically the devil incarnate, you do not want modern war, look at the Great War.

02:01:21.000 We've got to keep World War I in mind, because they didn't understand. 1.00

02:01:23.000 Just like we have drones right now, these are the machine guns of the modern age.

02:01:27.000 You don't understand what you're about to go up against.

02:01:29.000 And they did it week by week, everywhere from 2014 to 2018, every week they would say, this is what happened in the week of 1914, 100 years ago.

02:01:36.000 It's fascinating, and just the death, millions and millions and millions and millions, just from the machine guns.

02:01:42.000 But then you take Trenchfoot and all these other horrific, just the chaos of the explosions, the way that can traumatize and destroy a human body.

02:01:50.000 My name is Yeet, says Ian.

02:01:51.000 We miss you on the 7 Days server.

02:01:54.000 My name is Yeet.

02:01:55.000 There was too much lag.

02:02:33.000 It's official.

02:02:34.000 No, it's not.

02:02:35.000 I don't even call myself a libertarian anymore because they're just...

02:02:40.000 Unbelievable.

02:02:41.000 He's addressing it, guys.

02:02:42.000 He's addressing it now, everybody.

02:02:43.000 He's addressing it.

02:02:44.000 All right, we'll leave it alone.

02:03:38.000 Well, he was.

02:03:38.000 He founded Architects and Engineers for 9-11 Truth.

02:03:40.000 And this guy's compiled thousands, got thousands of architects and engineers across the world to diagnose the Twin Towers coming down in the physics involved with these buildings falling in near free fall speed.

02:03:52.000 And he just laid out evidence for like an hour and a half.

02:03:55.000 We went at it.

02:03:56.000 It was great.

02:04:47.000 I just hijacked the end of that phone call.

02:04:50.000 The Culture War is tomorrow.
